Linbeymusol Wonderful character development!

Melanie Bouvet The movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.

Roy Hart If you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.

Darin One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.

suraj-talreja01 Romantic horror comedy of sorts,Not entirely watchable but not entirely a flop either

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.

Anonymous Andy (Minus_The_Beer) Submissive horror-fan Max (Anton Yelchin) is stuck in a relationship he can't get out of. His domineering but beautiful girlfriend, Evelyn (Ashley Greene) re-decorates his apartment without his permission, won't allow him to drink milk and other such offenses. Quite frankly, Max would rather be with a cute ice cream shop owner (Alexandra Daddario) but doesn't quite know how to make the proper transition. As luck would have it, Evelyn gets hit by a bus and dies. End of story right? Wrong. A zombie-comedy not unlike, say, "Warm Bodies," "Burying The Ex" is the latest offering from director Joe Dante, who brought such beloved genre fare as "Gremlins" and "The Howling" to the big screen. While not quite up to the standards of said halcyon era, Dante works well within a limited budget and with a capable cast. Yelchin plays the hapless Max perfectly (when will someone give this guy bigger and more prominent work?) while Greene plays the waspy, oppressive and yet irresistible counterpart to a T. Even when the film doesn't quite fire on all cylinders, it remains enjoyable thanks in no small part to its talented young cast.Unfortunately, the film feels somewhat stagnant in other places. It doesn't quite riff on genre tropes as much as one would hope, working from a surprisingly pedestrian script. Originally conceived as a 15 minute short, "Burying The Ex" feels like a small-scale concept stretched too thin. To be frank, this would have made for a great "Tales From The Crypt" or "Creepshow" segment. As a feature- length film, however, it comes up short. Dante doesn't bring the anarchic spark he brought to "Gremlins 2: The New Batch" or the heart of "Matinee," becoming another in a long line of horror directors currently spinning their wheels.It's not that "Burying The Ex" is bad, per se. But it all feels fairly pedestrian and, well, forgettable. You could bury this one in your subconscious and just forget you ever saw it altogether. And that's a shame. With a more than capable cast and a proved director, "Burying The Ex" should have added up to more than just a pleasant 90 minute diversion. Add it to your Netflix queue, have a drink or two and enjoy the silly shenanigans, but don't be surprised if you forget to call the "Ex" back in the future.
