The Ex review

Written by thebluebird in Monday, May 25th 2009 under Uncategorized

Major changes are at hand for Tom Reilly (Zach Braff) and lawyer wife Sofia (Amanda Peet) after the birth of their baby. Until now, Sofia has been the main provider, but when she decides to be a full-time mother, Tom takes the family to Ohio to work for his father-in-law (Charles Grodin). It doesn't help that his boss Chip (Jason Bateman) still has a crush on Sofia from their high school days, or that he keeps stealing Tom's thunder. Dirty tricks and sabotage create an atmosphere of fierce paranoia, and Tom and Sofia's relationship is at risk.
