My Ex-Ex (2015) User Reviews

A Canadian version of a Farrelly Bros movie

[name99-92-545389 · 6/10 · 4 August 2017]

This is like a mid-level Farrelly Bros movie. Not in the class of Dumb and Dumb or There's Something about Mary, but above misfires like Outside Providence or Stuck on You.

The story is eminently predictable (and eminently depressing/unlikely --- our heroine is pretty damn hot and supposedly smart, which suggests that she has more options than just "awful man" and "loser boy", guess which she picks), but has enough funny (and, yes, gross-out) scenes along the way to justify the journey.

Meh...

My Ex Ex tries really hard to be a farrelley bros movie. Doesn't quite stick the landing though. There were a few decent laughs throughout, enough to keep my attention. But it was embarrassingly predictable and cliche. I guess it's worth watching, but nothing to get excited about.

Beyond diasappointing

What's really tragic is that this movie had so much potential to be great. I loved the psychic and destiny angle in the great traditions of only you ( R.D.J/Tomei and classic 3 coins in a fountain) The main actress has a lot of charisma and could carry the movie well. As soon as there is a scene of a threesome of two guys with the girl they had just insulted a few minutes earlier and one of the guys is married, I thought 1) that would never happen, and 2) this was written by a guy. Later in the movie they learned to do yoga so they could reach their penises. ::sigh:: there are great male writers such as Cameron Crowe in fast times, that even though there were sex scenes, they had a purpose, there were consequences and the movie had heart. I didn't care about any of the characters here. I wanted to like the main actress but couldn't understand how she could be a lawyer yet allow herself to be treated horribly by her fiancée. He dumps her for another woman & 2 weeks later, he changes his mind, and she's like "ok I'll take you back?!" What?! The two guy friends were very annoying and not funny at all. One is married with children, but takes viagra so he can have sex with girls at a frat party?! The women friends start out fine but then it turns out they hate each other. It doesn't work like that when you're an adult. You don't have to hang out in a group like in high school. You have a friend, you can meet them individually for a coffee or dinner or go to their place. It saddens me that movies are written this way these days. Especially when this movie could've been wonderful and instead illustrates the decline of...what we used to love about movies.

Katherine Barrell, really?!

[kaeley_eve12 · 1/10 · 1 January 2019]

I initially watched this movie because I LOVE Katherine Barell. I love her in Wynonna Earp, and I love the person she is. She's kind, and a strong independent feminist and woman. I was actually shocked after I watched this movie, that she would take a role where women are degraded the ENTIRE movie. I mean you can tell this movie must have been written by a man. The way the male characters talked about the women in this movie, treated them, and their misogynistic humor was a turn off from this movie for sure. I know it's just a role, but come on! The male characters in this movie, the way they talked, joked, and treated women was repulsive.

I thought I was going insane

A fascinatingly bad movie full of bad editing, poor acting, cheap-looking sets, and horribly unfunny writing. My girlfriend and I couldn't believe the movie was only 90 minutes long because it genuinely felt like an eternity. Like a Hallmark movie written by a group of 11-year-old boys.

Total Letdown

[rawhidesmith · 2/10 · 20 May 2019]

Started off with promise, but soon turned into crap.

do not watch this movie it's not worth your time unless you hate yourself

[jordanhgalloway · 1/10 · 27 October 2020]

Watching this felt like an asthma attack after taking a hit from the roughest joint in my entire life. i bought this movie on fandango to remind me that things really could be worse, also because they took it off of netflix. the acting is horrible, the script sucks, and it feels like every scene goes on for two minutes longer than it should, (which is really bad considering this is a 90 minute move.) also ray galletti is garbage

very clever and funny indie comedy

[mmyy · 9/10 · 4 July 2018]

This is a clever and funny little Indie movie. The script is really good. Ok. It's crude like a lot of comedies are these days BUT it's also written with intelligence, a rare commodity in movie making at any time. The acting is good, the script is good. It's made in Canada. Canadians always like you to know that. And all the actors are Canadian. Canadians also like you to know that. You might think they're Americans. They look like Americans. Talk like Americans but they're Canadian. Sorry to get off on this little North American tangent but really if you like a good, funny rom-com that has some actual originality to it, this is a good bet.

Typical old dude with young women

[kristitullos · 1/10 · 13 April 2021]

Come on! Let's find younger men to play the roles with early 20s women. This is so old and it's creepy. As long as this goes on , old men continue to think they can creep up on young women.

really really enjoyed it

[tabithanavratil · 8/10 · 13 July 2015]

When Mary's boyfriend Ted invites her out to a fancy restaurant, she's convinced he's going to pop the question. But instead of getting hitched, Mary gets dumped. To cheer her up, Mary's friends take her to see a psychic who casts a spell to reconnect Mary with her ex-boyfriend. The only problem is... Mary didn't say which one. She bumps into her college boyfriend Patrick, and despite feeling he's completely wrong for her, she slowly falls for him again. Ted soon realizes his mistake and wants Mary back. Mary is torn between her two exes: Mr. Right on paper, and Mr. Right for her. I really really enjoyed this film! I think Andre was amazing and I laughed throughout! I am going to watch it in theatres a second time and taking a bunch of friends as well. I know they are going to enjoy it. Sometimes you just need to be able to relate and to laugh and I think a lot of people are going to be able to feel that way with this film. Everyone has had a time when they were faced with a tough decision and its nice to be able to relate to that in a really funny way. I enjoyed Patrick's character quite a bit. I thought the whole experience was amazing. Cant wait to watch it again!

Super Funny Movie!!

[capriceherjavec · 8/10 · 10 July 2015]

This movie was so funny and well done! Not your average Rom-com. I would recommend to everyone who's looking for something to do on the weekend in Toronto. The yoga scene was absolutely hilarious. That's something you're not going to forget. The cinematography was done quite well also. The actors were great. Definitely forgot that it wasn't a US Blockbuster yet. This movie proves that Canadian films are not to be looked down upon. I'm going to gather a group of friends and head out to see it, because I saw it's debut in Montreal but am down for another viewing in Toronto. The Carlton cinema is a great theater for it to be shown at. Love the ambiance and atmosphere there. Great audio and visual and nice sized theaters seating around 120 people.

Only because Kat Barrel

[dobbsjordawn-45407 · 10/10 · 11 May 2021]

Kat Barrel looks so cute in that movie and Young she did a good job with movie was kind of stupid.
