Average.
Just like most people who've written reviews for this film, I too was excited to hear about a film staring two great comedians like Braff and Bateman. How could you go wrong with these two? However, with two inexperienced writers and one inexperienced director; it's not hard to see where this film goes wrong. The script is at times, very poor and extremely lacking in intelligent or deep humor, the characters are one dimensional and there are a lot of pointless and derivative scenes. There is no real chemistry between Braff and Peet and the soundtrack is somewhat lacking. It's really awful to see such amazing talents go to waste in such a simple and shallow comedy such as this. There are however, some great ideas in this film; the only shame is that they are not explored in their comedic entirety. Braff and Bateman are as usual, wonderful and do the best they can with the characters and the script they were given.
Mediocre comedy
Zach Braff ("Scrubs"), Amanda Peet ("Studio 60..") and Jason Bateman ("Arrested Development") help this little film just over the "average" bar. Even though their characters are pretty shallow, they put in a good performance and partly succeed in making you forget about the shabby script. There are a couple of funny moments, but without this cast the movie would have fallen apart, its strictly formulaic approach and lack of any inspiration just being too obvious. It's not as bad as "The Last Kiss", but Braff should choose his options more wisely, unless he wants his well-deserved Garden State acclaim to go down the drain. Recommended only for fans of the above-mentioned stars, the rest of you is not missing out on anything.
Great Cast, Sorely wasted.
I think the main actors in this flick (Zach Braff, Amanda Peet, and the totally wasted Jason Bateman) were the only thing that was even somewhat decent about this terrible attempt of comedy. I have seen better episodes of "Arrested Development" than this. If you are looking for a couple chuckles and plan on forgetting it immediately, this is right up your alley. If want to see an actual funny comedy, there are many others that are worth while. Bateman is pretty good, but you can be the best in the biz, but with a crummy script, no one can save it. A lot of the little bit parts are somewhat amusing, but hardly worth watching.
Can compete for Worst movie of 2006
The movie doesn't move anywhere plot-wise. Everyone apart from the guy which is disabled seem to range from dumb to very dumb. Tom's in-laws are very naive. Tom isn't intelligent either. Most of the people lack common sense. His wife never supports him and Tom doesn't does anything to improve his life either at work or at home. i feel i wasted 100 minutes of my life by watching this movie. NEVER watch this movie, unless you have NOTHING, by nothing i mean it. Even staring out of your window can be an interesting thing to do than watching this movie. NEVER NEVER watch this movie.
Slightly Disappointing If You Go In With Overly High Hopes
When I first walked into the theater to watch "The Ex" I was hoping on an hour and a half of non-stop gut laughter, I didn't get that, so I was slightly disappointed. Looking back on it now I can see I was expecting too much. There isn't a possible way that an hour and a half long movie could keep the laughs-per-minute value as something like AD or Scrubs. What it does though, in my opinion, is keep the momentum of those two shows. When I watched this movie a second time, I was not disappointed at all, because truthfully, "The Ex" is a fun little comedy that makes you chuckle and makes fast use of ninety minutes (as opposed to being drawn out and slow). What makes this movie good is the actors. They're all superb, Zach Braff is hilarious, and you love to hate Jason Batemen's character. Charles Grodin's character was also particularly funny. If there were halves, I'd give this movie a 7.5, but there isn't, but let me tell you why: I always start my movie grading at 9, and then add on an extra point if the movie is just jaw droppingly awesome. So for this movie I took of one point for the sole fact, that while the actors were fine, the script did not use them to their full potential. And then I also took off half a point because it seems like there was a lot more to the movie, that was cut out. So there you go, and a word to the wise, get the Rated version, the Unrated version is not nearly as good as the original. Even if you have to get Full Screen, the rated, PG-13 version is much better.
