Plot
New York City dentist Peter Pearce is first seen trying to convince his elderly father not to divorce his mother after 65 years of marriage. At the same time, Peter’s older son Nick is having a meet-cute with his co-worker Thea.
Six years later, Peter is now divorced after 35 years of marriage, his father’s dementia has prevented him “playing the field” as originally planned and 30-something-year-old Nick is about to tie the knot with Thea.
Nick is about to do a bachelor-party getaway to Tulum, Mexico with his younger brother Mickey and some friends, when it turns out Peter is also booked to go to the same place. He’s trying to shake off depression, as he just had to sign the divorce papers from his wife Maria.
At the resort, the underachieving career waiter Nick becomes gloomy due to depression, as his pals party around him. Lowry is a party animal whom Peter dislikes, and Arroyo, despite declaring he’s straight and married, embarks on a liaison with Mickey, who has recently come out and is tentatively starting to date.
Peter meets Eileen, a wedding guest from another group, and they share an amicable, albeit safe, flirtation.
