Movie Reviews of The Ex (Unrated Widescreen Edition)
Movie Review: THE EX...CREMENT! 1 3/4 STARS!
Summary: 1 Stars
Well, well, well! It's hard to be positive about this perplexing film. It's not funny enough to be a good comedy, it's not romantic enough to be a good love story and it's not a very good movie period! This film's only saving grace is a good cast. It's a shame, as the movie has some funny moments, but it's negated because it's so irritating! Zach Braff plays a likable guy who has no backbone and that is only the tip of the iceberg. Jason Bateman who is a fine actor plays a particularly unlikable character so well, you just want to ring his neck. I know if I were in the situation Braff was in, I would have taken care of this Jack A$$ after the second day at my new job. As comedies go this one just isn't very enjoyable, but somehow I managed to watch the entire movie mostly because I like the actors involved.
Summary of The Ex (Unrated Widescreen Edition)
Tom (Braff) and Sofia (Peet) have just had their first baby and that means it is time for Tom to grow up. But when Tom goes to work for his father-in-law his new boss Chip (Bateman) seems to have it out for him. Tom soon discovers that Chip is still carrying a flame for Sophia from their high school days. Now Chip will stop at nothing to see Tom out of the company and out of Sophia s life. As the two go head to head Tom must expose Chip s dirty tricks and push him out of the picture forever. System Requirements:Run Time: 84 minutes Genre:?COMEDY Rating:?UNRATED UPC:?796019801164When a movie sits on the shelf for a year, the consensus is that it must be a dud. Formerly known as Fast Track, Jesse Peretz's third and most commercial feature may not be a dud, but it comes perilously close. With the success of Garden State, it was inevitable that The Ex would be marketed as a romantic comedy, except it isn't. Sure, there's romance between Tom (Zach Braff) and his pregnant wife, Sofia (Amanda Peet, Igby Goes Down), but this is mostly a black comedy about the ad game, like How To Get Ahead in Advertising. After their baby is born, Sofia puts her legal career on hold to care for little Oliver, but then Tom loses his job as chef (Paul Rudd cameos as his boss), so they move from New York to Ohio where her father, Bob (Charles Grodin in fine fettle), secures Tom a gig as assistant associate creative at his New Age-style ad agency. Their money woes are a thing of the past, but new problems await. The biggest is creative director Chip (Jason Bateman), who briefly dated Sofia in high school. A longtime wheelchair user, Chip resents Tom for stealing his limelight--and for his relationship with Sofia. So, he sets out to turn everyone against his competition (their co-workers include SNL's Fred Armisen and Amy Poehler). Because Chip has such a genial manner, Tom's complaints strike others as unjustified paranoia. By the time he figures out a way to pay Chip back, it's hard to care after all the pratfalls and bits of funny business that fall flat more often than not. There are worse ways to spend 89 minutes, but any random episode of Scrubs or Arrested Development offers more laughs. --Kathleen C. Fennessy
