As somebody who had not heard any of this before, it became a curious phenomenon to sit and watch a film and slowly have the realities begin to click into place.

This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.

All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

It is encouraging that the film ends so strongly.Otherwise, it wouldn't have been a particularly memorable film

Burying the Ex Is a movie starring Anton Yelchin, Ashley Greene, and Alexandra Daddario. A guy's regrets over moving in with his girlfriend are compounded when she dies and comes back as a zombie. Burying the Ex is not one of Dante's best films and for sure as hell it's quite silly and dumb but it's still a fun zombie comedy that benefits from excellent work from it's 3 main leads but also even has a Dick Miller cameo which was a nice touch in my opinion. The film at times might get a bit way too silly but it's still not as bad as you might have hurt and please give it a shot. (6/10)

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.

More often than not, when I rate a film two or two and a half stars, I'm coming from a place of "Well it's not really for me, but I guess I could see why it might have appeal". Burying the Ex on the other hand comes from a place exactly opposite to that. It's like every five minutes there was something dropped precisely to cater to my interests, but there's no appeal at all. And no amount of goth bars I'd kill to have in my town, horror-themed ice cream parlours, Joe Dante directorial credits or Alexandra Daddario getting her kit off in a graveyard can make up for that. It's not outright boring, which is certainly welcome, but it's horror that's not scary, comedy that's not funny, and bears not one but two life lessons that seem well learned until they're *both* dropped in the final scene.I'm not going to make any "Should have stayed buried" digs, because it's really not *that* bad, but I'm not going to recommend it either.

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.
