spencergrande6 There's like a split second where this film might be an interesting look at the dynamics of what makes relationships work or don't (I thought the film was going to present Ashley Greene's Evelyn as sympathetic), but this is not that at all. It's just a lowest common denominator type-A domineering girlfriend trying to make a man-child grow up instead of just letting him be him. Except this time the twist is that she comes back as a zombie and he still doesn't have the fortitude to tell her the truth (he would rather kill her, again).Broad, with a few horror film fan touches, and nothing remotely approaching the level of a Joe Dante film and what that normally entails.

Paul Magne Haakonsen Initially, I had expected a bit more comedy element from director Joe Dante's "Burying the Ex". With that being said, don't get me wrong here, because this is still an enjoyable movie for what it turned out to be. It just failed to live up to what I had hoped it would be.The story is about Max (played by Anton Yelchin) who is not overly happy in his relationship with Evelyn (played by Ashley Greene). And when he finally musters up the courage to break up with her, she dies in a car accident. But he quickly finds out that a promise of being together forever has a very literal meaning as Evelyn returns from the grave.The characters in "Burying the Ex" were good, and they were mainly the reason for the movie staying afloat. They were nicely detailed and even more so brought to life on the screen by the acting talents cast for portraying them. My personal favorite had to be Travis (played by Oliver Cooper)."Burying the Ex" is lacking a handful of good laughs and funny moments, and as such, the movie is suffering from that. Which essentially left the movie in a very mediocre state. That was a shame, because the movie really had potential for much more.Having seen "Burying the Ex", I can say that this is the type of movie that you watch once, then put it away on the shelf, bagged and tagged.My rating of "Burying the Ex" is a score of five stars out of ten, because the movie was very generic and mediocre to me. I just had expected a bit more from it.

Pumpkin_Man This movie was much better than I expected. The right mix of a romantic comedy, and zombie flicks. Alexandra Daddario was awesome and smokin' hot as Max's love interest. Max works at a Halloween store ans has a snobby girlfriend named Evelyn. Evelyn comes into the shop one day and sees a Genie idle that looks like the devil. She wishes that she and Max will stay together forever. Soon after, she's hit by a bus and appears to be dead. Some time goes by and Max hangs out with Olivia. Evelyn comes out of the grave and lives life as if nothing has changed. Max tries to get rid of her and hide her away from Olivia. If you like quirky comedies and zombies, you'll love BURYING THE EX!!!

thedreamingfool Although the movie itself is portrayed as a comedy, It is as if it was a comedy with all the humor taken out of it. This movie had the potential for a lot of tongue and cheek humor. It is almost as if all the one liners and jokes were taken out on purpose. The movie was such a let down... almost as if you're waiting for something humorous to be said, but nothing was delivered. If you must see it, rent it for cheap, but it does not warrant buying or watching more than once. it will be a movie easily forgotten. The acting was decent, the makeup was good, and the overall plot line had a lot of potential. But nothing could save this movie from the dry script that left you wondering if it was truly meant to be a comedy, or the comedy label was wrongly applied.
