Reviews for The Ex
Review - Ex, The
Uneven, with a lot of sophomoric humor, but I liked Braff and Peet.

| Description: | When Tom Reilly (Zach Braff) loses his job in New York just when his wife Sofia (Amanda Peet) is having her baby, he's forced to move to Ohio and work in his father-in-law's ad agency. He's trained by Chip (Jason Bateman), a sociopath in a wheelchair who once dated Sofia and is trying to steal her back. Chip undermines Tom in multiple ways and gets him in all sorts of trouble with his job and with Sofia. But Tom wins in the end because Sofia loves him and won't leave him even when she's mad at him. He fools Chip into thinking he's gotten a great job in Spain, so Chip quits his job at the agency and lets everyone know he can really walk. Tom and Sofia Move back to NY and Tom opens his own agency. |
