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.

It's hard to enjoy a film when everyone in it is so bloody annoying!I originally watched this for Anton Yelchin but he wasn't entertaining enough to hold my attention, especially when his character was part of what made movie crap for me.Max (Yelchin) needed to grow a pair and every predicament throughout the movie, it all happened because he wasn't honest.The character of Travis (Oliver Cooper), who happens to be the half brother of Max, was rude, inconsiderate and just a plain dickhead!It just seemed to me that they gave each character one-personality trait and turned it up by 1000.CHAPPY THINKS all copies of this film should be buried alongside the Ex!

Joe Dante, the director, the man who gave us The Howling (1981) an instant classic. From there on he gave us horror with a comedy taste. Just look at Gremlins (1984) or for some Piranha (1978). This here I can classify under a horror again with a comedy feeling.The story is rather simple and can even be called dull but somehow it do works. Stepping into a new relation, Max (Anton Yelchin) wants to make it out with his girlfriend Evelyn (Ashley Greene). When the moment is there Evelyn dies and Max moves over to Olivia (Alexandra Daddario). After the funeral suddenly Evelyn rises from the grave. from there on you will have those awkward situations. Not that I had a great time laughing it out but the clips shown of old classic horrors and the brain eating towards the end makes it worth picking up. An ideal flick to watch with your friends.Gore 0,5/5 Nudity 0/5 Effects 3/5 Story 3/5 Comedy 1/5

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.
