There's a pretty good concept here and an overall B-movie feel that kind of makes you want to like it. Overall though it all just feels way too phoned in. For a horror-rom-com, it's surprisingly lacking in horror, romance, and comedy. That's not to say it's a readily unfunny movie. It's just that none of the laughs it does try really elicit any sort of reaction. So it's not like these jokes are particularly bad, they just aren't particularly funny. No, Burying the Ex's biggest problem is that there just isn't anything going on. It's pulse is flatter than that of Yelchin's undead girlfriend. The only gore comes in right at the end. The majority of the movie is just watching Yelchin talk to his brother about dumping his girl and then not doing it because he's got no spine. Every now and then Alexandra Daddario shows up to hit on him. The romance angle also falls flat as well. Daddario's character just sort of follows around our sad sack lead for no apparent reason other than they share some common interests and she hasn't had sex in a while (the movie explains that). There's no actual romance going on. It's also worth pointing out that the main character actually doesn't have things that bad with his "ex" in the first place. Yeah, she was controlling and there obviously wasn't any connection there, but she was hardly the girlfriend from hell. At least not before she died that is. Burying the Ex is sort of a bumbling corpse of a movie. It just sort of shambles along with no real purpose other than to eat. Only it's food is our time rather than our brains. Given the lackluster results I'd say we're all better off not feeding this one. You can tell there wasn't much effort going into putting it together. As a result it's watchable, but there's no real point in doing so. This ex can stay buried.
