Watch The Ex For Free

This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.

I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.

This is a gorgeous movie made by a gorgeous spirit.

The movie is 88 minutes. The special features adds 15 minutes at least and offers 3 alternates endings. Thus i understand why i got the feeling to watch a slapdash movie. It have been produced with a tag-line and the idea have been difficult to gather. In fact, the movie is really slow to start and when the funny moments arrive, it's too late.It's a pity because the American movies criticizing work life are scarce. If "Devil wore Prada" wasn't really about the real workers, here, the work environment is unfortunately ridiculous (a hippie boss and a cunning colleague). The only good thing is the typology of the cast: the old bunch (Farrow, Grondin), the young team (Peet, Braff) and the newcomers (Bateman, Adams). Amanda is a cool mother and a responsible wife and it's great she doesn't loss her smile with years.

This film is about a chef who lost his job. He has to go back to his wife's hometown to work with his father in law, where things do not work out his way."The Ex" is well written, as it highlights Chip Sanders' games very well, and portrays Tom Reilly's suffering in amazing detail. As Tom Reilly's frustration and helplessness unfold, I find myself having great sympathy for him. His character is sculpted in such an engaging manner, that I really hope that he will win the war. Jason Bateman is great in his role as an innocent looking sociopath, he helps to make the film work despite his limited screen time.I find "The Ex" very funny, there is not even a minute of boredom. It's a very enjoyable watch, and I recommend it to anyone.

This movie, without any exceptions really, gets steadily worse and worse until the point it becomes simply tedious to watch and frankly insulting. The clichés rattle out thick and fast, the predictability is so straightforward you don't even feel good when you get it right 10 out of 10 times and the character decisions are so ridiculous you'd be let down if you saw them on a nickelodeon show for 5 year olds.The saving grace is certainly Zach Braff, who we've learnt from Graden Sate and quite a few occasions in Scrubs, has a great ability to serious things up brilliantly whilst still having us consistently at fits at his antics and excellent line delivery. He can make the most straightforward line seem absolutely hilarious, Scriptwriters must love him. He has few chances to shine on this occasion but the chances he gets he ceases hole-heartedly. Amanda Peet and Jason Bateman were less than impressive and everyone else was just plain awful. It wasn't their fault mind you. They were given next to nothing to work realistically with.It can be tricky with these sorts of movies to keep the humor up and the story believable so the odd slip up is more than excusable. But not to this extent and particularly not when it's not even that funny. Braff fans are the only ones who will benefit from this movie and even they may feel slightly let down. Everyone else would be well advised to avoid at all costs.

The Ex is the worst film I have seen in a long time.The element which most bothered me from this movie is that three brilliant actors (Zach Braff,Jason Bateman and the great Amanda Peet) were criminally wasted in a stupid and tedious "comedy".I still do not understand how this movie got the green-light.This is one of the most unfunny comedies I have EVER seen.This movie is so bad that it does not deserve a long analysis.I just have to say it's an enormously tedious and stupid comedy.This piece of repulsive crap should immediately be destroyed.My recommendation would be this : do not even steal this movie.You have been warned.
