Review of The Ex

The Ex (2006)
8/10
A must for Braff and Bateman fans
1 May 2007
Being a fan of my generation's brilliant TV comedians: Zach Braff of Scrubs and Jason Bateman of Arrested Development. I saw the movie at a special screening and I wasn't disappointed. The lead of the movie is actually Braff who plays Tom Reilly, a slacker married to a young lawyer Sarah Kowalski played by Amanda Peet. Due to his temper and frank attitude, Reilly doesn't last long in his jobs and his wife has the most stable job. The problem, arises when he got fired from his last job after Sarah gives birth to their firstborn and she wants to become a stay at home mom to their baby. They moved back to her parents hometown in Ohio and his father in law got Tom a job at his work - an advertising company, only to be assigned to work under his girl's ex-lover Chip Sanders played by Jason Bateman who still have to hots for Sarah. Good acting and comedic timing by Braff and Bateman raises it's quality from a middling script. If you are a fan of Zach Braff or Jason Bateman, this is a must-see.
