The Ex (2007)

Details Release Date: May 11, 2007; Rated: PG-13; Length: 89 Minutes; Genres: Comedy, Drama; With: Zach Braff and Amanda Peet; Distributor: MGM

Zach Braff calls this black comedy ''a mesh between the sensibilities of Arrested Development and Scrubs'' — which makes sense since Development alum Jason Bateman costars as Chip Sanders, a wheelchair-bound scoundrel using dirty tricks to win his high school crush (Amanda Peet) from her irate husband (Braff). And despite a scene where he throws the disabled guy down a flight of stairs, the Scrubs star has no concerns about tarnishing his good-guy image. ''Luckily, Chip is a real d---,'' says Braff. ''He's a d--- in a wheelchair — but he's still a d---.'' (May 11)
