When his lawyer wife, Sofia
(Amanda Peet), becomes pregnant, chronic underachiever
Tom Reilly (Zach Braff) must take a job at his
father-in-law's advertising firm. Tom has to adjust to
the demands of a very high-powered job, and he finds
himself in an increasingly hostile office rivalry with
Chip (Jason Bateman), Sofia's paraplegic former lover

"The next time
Grodin attempts a comeback, it would be so
great if he avoids movies where he might be
upstaged by a sandwich stunt."

Stephen Holden |
"The best jokes
in this scattershot screwball satire of job
insecurity, upward mobility, political
correctness and yuppie marital tensions have
claws that leave scratches."

ReelViews
James Berardinelli |
"For the most
part, the humor in The Ex is sit-com
in nature - mild, juvenile, filled with
pratfalls, and not especially funny."

Mick LaSalle |
"The Ex
isn't painful, horrible or despicable, but
it is an amazing mess."

just not funny."
