The movie is Bateman's to steal, however, which he does early and often.
Still, The Ex is more appealing and less dumb than most movies that pass as comedy today, so any criticisms of its shortcomings need to account for that big-picture perspective. Indeed, there are worse ways to spend an hour-and-a-half.
The movie is populated by dislikeable individuals doing unpleasant things but isn't redeemed by the vein of viciously black comedy that made "The War of the Roses" and "Bad Santa" such devilish pleasures.
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.
By the end, it doesn't even have the courage of its political incorrectness.
The Ex isn't painful, horrible or despicable, but it is an amazing mess.
A stunningly insipid romance, marks an all-time low for actor Zach Braff -- his "Gigli," if you will.
