Brilliant romantic comedy with sweety Amanda Peet about a husband who has to defeat his wife's cunning ex-boyfriend now posing as a disabled person to regain her love back.

This would be a pretty boring TV show and was a waste of time and money. This movie was boring, lame and predictable. Way too much sexual innuendo for young audiences.

Thanks to "Murderball", we don't have to feel sorry for the physically-disabled anymore. It's so obvious that Chip(Jason Bateman) is a type-A jerk, but since "The Ex" is basically a workplace sitcom, only Tom(Zach Braff) sees his Thanks to "Murderball", we don't have to feel sorry for the physically-disabled anymore. It's so obvious that Chip(Jason Bateman) is a type-A jerk, but since "The Ex" is basically a workplace sitcom, only Tom(Zach Braff) sees his sociopathic side. For "The Ex" to have been a successful comedy, the film had to be as mean as Chip. In real life, nice guys finish last. It's funnier to see the bad guy win. "The Ex" probably isn't the film that was first conceived on paper. This is "Bad Santa"-lite.… Expand

Caught this movie on a plane by accident. It's a solid comedy with enough subversiveness in its characters to give it a bit of bite. Won't change your life but it'll probably divert you from thinking about it for 90mins or so.

Are you kidding me? This movie is awesome! I don't know how it could only have 33/100 score I absolutely love it. Definitly worth it.

It wasn't hilarious but it had some funny parts and overall it was a good movie.

4th rate sitcommy garbage with a phony Farelly edge. It seeks to skewer yuppiedom (gee, that's new) and be a physical comedy at the same time, but winds up being insulting and insipid. I had to rush home and watch American Beauty just to detox.

The music is weak, the writing is all over the place (reading interviews with them you can see this is not necessarily the writer or director's faults) and the acting is generally mediocre. Charles Grodin was an exception to this and wasThe music is weak, the writing is all over the place (reading interviews with them you can see this is not necessarily the writer or director's faults) and the acting is generally mediocre. Charles Grodin was an exception to this and was funny and charming in what I believe was his first film since his great role in Midnight Run. Bateman and Braff are on autopilot both playing the roles they had played consistently in this era of their careers. Some weird cameos from Paul Rudd, Amy Poehler and even Amy Addams (!) only emphasise the waste of talent on display. Also the music is frankly awful and has dated incredibly badly!… Expand
