The Ex is a comedy, they say. So why am I depressed so much?

Oh. That's okay. Because a whiner, a space cadet or a self-righteous granola-head is every lady in it. Because the males are susceptible to violence, jerks and immature doofus (doofi?). Marriage counseling is a joke, according to The Ex. Stink from the workplaces. Business advertising? Like the Playhouse of Pee-wee, less the happiness. It's scum for bosses.In-laws are insensitive meddlers, but we knew that from past journeys to the multiplex already. Wheelchair people: vengeful brutes of the macho. Heavenly leadership: asinine. Breastfeeding is painful and unsexy, yikes. Stay-at-home parenting generally doesn't come off too well, and as with children.It's no surprise that I feel blue. Nothing is more of a downer than a film that trots out a excellent cast and stumbles; that attempts to be cute and fails. Only a few jokes participate in a laugh reflex; the remainder of them are pushed down by a rough pace and a baldly aggressive mean streak.
