When 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

The Ex (directed by Jesse Peretz) is a romantic comedy that induces a few chuckles but ultimately doesn't do its talented cast justice.
Tom Reilly (Zach Braff) is a slacker who can't find a career he loves. When he loses his job as chef the day his wife, Sofia Kowalski (Amanda Peet), has their baby, he is forced to move from New York City to small town Ohio. He reluctantly takes a job at an ad agency where her father (Charles Grodin) works. He meets Chip Sanders (Jason Bateman); a self ... Read More

It is weird but this "unrated" DVD is really edited, which you would think would be the opposite case. I am glad I watched this on basic cable, because I saw the whole movie, not the weirdly edited version where no one knows if Chip can walk or not. I can understand why people would give this movie low ratings because they haven't seen the real movie. I see good ratings on movie sites until when the DVD came out, then there are bad reviews. So it might be the editing, right?

Biggest problem with `The Ex' is that it tries to be a comedy movie but unfortunately all its jokes are highly predictable. You can sense the punch line as soon as the scene starts. Too much stress (and most of the `funny' moments) are between Jason Bateman and Zach Braff and movie fails to utilize the comedy timings of Amanda Peet (as evident in `Whole Nine Yards' movies) and Amy Adams (Enchanted).
After spending almost 90 minutes with `The Ex' it still feels like an episode of a regular sitcom. ... Read More

On paper, this is one of the best movies ever. Jason Bateman? Zack Braff? Amy Poehler? Amanda Peet? Paul Rudd? And Charles Grodin and Mia Farrow for good measure - how can this not be great?
And yet, "The Ex" is not great; it is not even OK, but instead is a lifeless dud. The first scene sets the mood - an awful, clunky bit of exposition that doesn't even rise to the level of bad TV comedy. This is bad news, given that Braff is the star of one of TV's best comedies, and Peet was fantastic ... Read More

I join the minority of reviewers who thought this was very funny. I laughed a lot watching it, and thought it was great. It was on TV, so I recorded it - I'll see it again some time. I agree with the reviewer who liked it.
