    The Ex had it moments. It was a cute film, I will give it that. This film could have been magnificent, with it's cast. But, it fell short of that into the luke warm territory.
    I am a fan of Zach Braff, I really like Scrubs. So, I guess I was expecting a little more from him...( read more) in this one. I did think that him and Amanda Peet meshed well and had good chemistry as a couple. That helps. Jason Bateman saved this film, in my opinion. He pulled it from crap, to tolerable. But, I even expected more from his character in this, he can be a shinning comic star, when he wants to be.
    The Ex is better then getting a bikini wax.

    Nothing exceptional, except maybe that it may be the only movie I like Amanda Peet in...

    Occasional funny parts, but to be truthful, most moments of laughter were included in the trailer and that had made it look a much funnier film than it actually was. There were some really odd parts and it most definitely had it?s fair share of cringeworthy parts too. Come on Z...( read more)ach Braff, we know you can be funnier than this!!!!

    Fun little comedy with some genuine laughs and a very watchable cast. Sadly Braff has done much better work and is forced to resort to pratfalls a little too often. The nicest surprise here was to see Charles Grodin back on screen. Very user friendly and worthwhile, if only to se...( read more)e Zach Braff throw a crippled Jason Bateman down a flight of stairs. Nice harmless, lighthearted fun, but that's about it. Look for the lovely Amy Adams as a very weird, new age mother.

    Pretty good movie, had quite a few smirks but not laughs, it's really a movie to be seen on DvD with some friends and some popcorn at your house or friends house, Very simple story..

    In Manhattan, Sofia's an attorney and Tom's a cook who has a hard time holding a job. When the...( read more)ir first child is born, they agree that she'll be a full-time mom and he'll get a promotion. When he gets fired, he takes a job in Ohio working at the ad agency where her father is assistant director. Tom's assigned to report to Chip, a competitive, hard-driving guy who's in a wheelchair and who's Sofia's ex-boyfriend - from high school. Chip still carries a torch for her, so he connives to make Tom's work life miserable. As Tom's frustrations mount, it may be that Sofia will take Chip's side. Is Tom doomed to fail yet again?

    This movie was okay, but I wasn't impressed with the acting, plot, or ending.

    Caught the last half of this on the comedy channel last night. I basically watched it because I like Amanda Peet. They tried to be really funny and weren't.

    Tom Reilly (Zach Braff) and his wife Sofia (Amanda Peet) are in for some major changes now that they have a newborn. As a lawyer, Sofia has always provided a comfortable living while Tom has contributed love, support and the occasional paycheck! when sofia decided to be a stay at...( read more) home mum,that all changes....
    Tom moves the family to Ohio to work for his father-in-law (Charles Grodin) as an Assistant Associate Creative for Sunburst Communications.His boss Chip (Jason Bateman) happens to still carry a torch for Sofia from their high school days. Each time Tom gains some ground at the firm, Chip wheels in and steals his thunder. Dirty tricks and sabotage create an atmosphere of fierce paranoia that eventually threatens tom's and sofia's relationship.
    Chip will stop at nothing to see Tom defeated while no one but Tom can see Chip for the evil genius he is. Through it all Toms esteem is depleted, his manhood challenged,and hes watching his family slip away.
    an ok kind of movie some funny moments
