As a movie-goer who’s seen more romantic comedies than I care to admit, I must say that “Nobody Wants This” has quickly become one of my favorites. The way Noah handles Joanne and her family is nothing short of impressive – he’s got the charm, the wit, and the ability to see through people like a modern-day Cupid.
Joanne’s family is uniquely quirky in a charming way, and I can’t get enough of them! In an unexpected turn of events, during a night of watching Vanderpump, Joanne’s parents, Henry and Lynn, along with Henry’s new partner Pat, drop by unannounced with Joanne, Noah, and their daughters. This results in the most hilarious episode yet of Nobody Wants This (“This Ick” was written by Jane Becker and directed by Karen Maine). It beautifully demonstrates the show’s potential when it’s at its best: it features heartwarming romantic moments, fantastic ensemble dynamics, and Adam Brody delivers a memorable Italian-accented “prego.” Honestly, what else could you ask for in a rom-com?

When Morgan begins grumbling that Joanne’s relationship is negatively impacting the podcast – download numbers are dropping and comments are harsh – Joanne realizes it’s high time her sibling meets Noah; he’ll adore him. Even if Morgan assumes they’re engaging in some “unusual rabbi rituals behind a sheet.” The gathering was intended to be casual, and it initially goes well – Noah even brings a sheet with a hole in it. He’s quite amusing! Despite herself, Morgan can’t conceal her slight admiration.
Upon hearing that Henry, Lynn, and Pat are on their way, my demeanor takes an immediate turn. I find myself slipping into high-pressure mode, much like in the movie “Meet the Parents.” The tension is palpable as I rush to prepare for their arrival, ensuring there’s an ample supply of snacks and addressing any potential issues before they can even mention them. Joanne tries to reassure me that nothing matters more than my parents, but her words sting a bit. They are indeed agents of chaos, and their visit is always eventful.
As a movie buff, I’d say it this way: Despite Lynn and Henry constantly causing chaos, Noah surprisingly remains anxious. He’s putting forth an effort, albeit not enough to suppress his exclamation of “prego” in a questionable Italian accent when Morgan mentions filling sunflowers in an empty Prego bottle (our family knows zilch about flowers, truth be told). Yet, he’s making the attempt.
The funny thing is, he doesn’t really have to try with the parents. They seem to love him right away. Lynn, especially, is moved by him: Noah seems to be the only one who notices how hard this all is for Lynn. Alone in the kitchen after watching Henry and Pat be affectionate and Henry telling Pat he loves him, Noah wants to make sure Lynn is okay. She opens up to him right away: She knows her girls must be having a tough time seeing their dad so emotionally open with someone else since he never was with them, and she knows she’s supposed to have moved on by now; She’s trying to hold it all together. “For what it’s worth, I think you’re doing a good job,” Noah tells her. They both know he’s lying, but it is very sweet.
Currently, Noah is facing some troubles with Joanne. Upon spotting him wearing that sport coat, observing him label it as such, and witnessing that peculiar bouquet of flowers he presented, Joanne exhibits a strong sense of discomfort, which Morgan refers to as “the ick.” It’s impossible for her to conceal this feeling from her sister. Although Joanne attempts to downplay her distaste for everything Noah is doing at the moment, she might need to end their relationship because it’s evident on her face. The pregnancy hormones seem to have exacerbated her feelings, and this sudden breakup is a pattern with these sisters. Morgan ended things with a man she was dating when she saw him running with a backpack, which made the bounce on his rear quite noticeable, and their relationship never recovered. The man Joanne witnessed chasing a ping pong ball across a room? He’s as good as gone to her. As she puts it, “You can’t unsee something like that.” This is plain speaking. Joanne holds the same view regarding men who do something embarrassing – a ping pong ball chase, for instance – as dead in the water to her.
Despite Joanne appearing determined to part ways with Noah, we might all be urging her not to act impulsively. However, an unexpected turn of events takes place. Following his talk with Lynn and the evident frustration on Joanne’s face, Noah discerns several crucial points and calls her aside for a heart-to-heart conversation.
It’d be great if we knew how long Noah and Joanne have been together, as it seems like Noah understands Joanne deeply. It’s not too surprising given that he seemed to grasp her personality perfectly on their first night out, walking her to her car. Despite the allure of grand gestures, I find it heartwarming that their relationship is depicted realistically in “Nobody Wants This,” with Noah truly appreciating Joanne for who she is.
He tells her to get over this defense mechanism of pretending she isn’t into him or that she’s too cool for this. He really likes her and he knows she likes him, too. And then he makes her say it to the sport coat because he’s never apologizing for that.
In simpler terms, it’s clear that Noah has gained the approval of Joanne’s family. It was hardly unexpected, given how well he gets along with them. On the other hand, convincing his own mom, whom you’ve undoubtedly met, is going to be quite a challenge. It seems intentional that they subtly mentioned the rule about Noah only marrying someone within his synagogue who is Jewish, or has converted to Judaism. This topic will likely be a significant part of their future discussions before everything is settled. For now, however, it might be beneficial for Joanne and Noah’s families to form an alliance.
Could we discuss the situation where Sasha continues to text Morgan? It appears, at least for now, that their interactions are more of a friendly nature, which is fortunate given Esther’s influence and the fact that both Sasha and Morgan, our less fortunate siblings, could benefit from having a good friend. When Sasha, after spending a day at the sauna with his father and eventually, upon Esther’s encouragement, asks for a promotion at work and receives it, he shares this exciting news with Morgan via text. It’s quite endearing! Overall, it seems quite harmless and healthy, though we’ll have to wait and see how or if this unexpected friendship fits into our larger narrative.
