The Ex

Rating:★★★
Category:Movies
Genre: Romantic Comedy
The Movie was good. As usual Jason Bateman was funny in his Sarcastic.. Asshole-ic role haha.. Zach Braff was great for the lead role he's totally the guy for that. The guy who makes things BETTER. Amanda Peet looks gorgeous. To think that I just really don't like her.. she was stunning in this movie.

I dunno if this movie should be categorized as a romantic comedy or just plain comedy. Since they got back together (Yey! what's new.. same old same old..) i guess it's a little bit of a romantic towards the end.

The movie is about Tom (Zach Braff), who is going to be a father after the first few scenes, and his wife Sofia (Amanda Peet). They live in New York and they talked about how things are going to be for the kid.. Sofia is a Lawyer (who looks like a librarian).Tom is a chef and he doesn't really get that enough of a pay to raise a kid. They decided that Sofia will just be a housewife and take care of the kid. So here's the first conflict: On the day that Sofia was on Labor, Tom got fired on his job. sucks to be him. They fight over it and Tom is forced to take the job in Ohio with Sofia's dad in an advertising company. He will work under Chip (Jason Bateman), who is also Sofia's Crippled Highschool sweetheart. Chip is an Asshole deep down inside.. he drives Tom crazy and clearly puts every blame on Tom.. he does everything to make Tom look bad. He's also trying to steal Sofia back.. so how will Tom solve this problem? hmmn.. just watch it. it's a good movie.
