Reviews
"Your Ex - My Nightmare " maintains, though not high, yet passable level on the fan of the romantic comedy Dub. Likeable Zach Braff plays alone by his presence, to make this film, despite thin story and otherwise rather average actors for genre lovers look worth it. But content and gags of the film are likely to be forgotten faster than his 88 minutes of play are in order. "
"Your Ex - My Nightmare " is an average comedy with a, as always, likeable Zach Braff and some witty idea Predictable, but definitely recommend for a relaxing, fun-filled family evening ". .
" A sometimes pretty rough romantic comedy that shows a Loser on the way to true life. Well played entertainment. "
