The ex

The ex (84 min)

Seen on the 23rd March 2008

There is no much to say about this film except that is trully comical. The main character, Tom Reilly, is struggling to find a job in New York at the same time that his wife is about to deliver their first baby. Difficult times in Manhattan make them move somewhere in the industrial heart of the US: Ohio. Back at her city, the wife finds in her mum and dad a confortable place to be while delivering the child.

Things get more complicated as the job chosen for Tom, by his father in law, turns out to be a very creative job and highly competitive. Tom's direct boss, a disabled but highly dynamic person turns out to be Tom's wife ex. He starts making Tom's life extremelly complicated to the point that he manges to make Tom brake with the wife and fire the father in law who puts Tom there in the first place. A funny film.
