A comedy about a family’s three generations of male romantic malaise. The jokes are mostly squelched by the tangible depression felt by the collective menfolk.

“Ex-Husbands,” director Noah Pritzker’s midlife-crisis comedy about four middle-class men—a grandfather, father, two sons—and their various relationship woes, is middling, and reminiscent of mid-1990s Billy Crystal movies.
