I guess it figures that a well written ensemble comedy would do a wonderful job with guest stars. All three high profile guest stars were perfectly cast and perfectly written. Rob Reiner and Jamie Lee Curtis did the heavy lifting in this episode and pulled it off wonderfully. Not that we would expect anything else from these two giant stars, but the balance they were able to strike between heavy emotional moments and subtle comedic beats was right on. Rob Riggle might have had a less important role in the episode, but he was just as perfect out Schmidt-ing Schmidt. It wasn't his line, but his character's younger representative had one of the best lines of the episode, "I'm the strong kind of fat!"
As always, Nick was the glue that kept the episode together, having great moments with everyone in the cast. The scenes of him sitting on the couch with Jess's dad and flirting with Jess's mom were easily the funniest of the episode.
Another super funny New Girl episode, the writers are obviously in a groove, 4-1. And the Nick quote of the week is, "I've got something bad inside me that ruins everything."
