no chemistry

Sofia (Amanda Peet) and husband Tom (Zach Braff) expect their first child. How can they raise the child when Tom loses his job? Tom then takes up Sofia's father's offer to work with him. There, he meets wheelchaired Chip Sanders (Jason Bateman) who gradually makes Tom's life hell, both personally and professionally. Tom has to prove that Chip is out to destroy him.

Some parts were funny, but this is not the comedy of the year.
There was absolutely no chemistry between Zach Braff and Amanda Peet.
Jason Bateman was possibly the only good actor and even then! - although all of the actors overacted, especially Sofia's parents (Charles Grodin & Mia Farrow).
This should have been a straight-to-video flick. I almost fell asleep on it, as the jokes were old and so not that funny, and very predictable.
The ending is obviously a happy one, but at least Tom gets to avenge everything that happened to him.

Watch at your own risk. Rent it if you absolutely have nothing else to choose from.

[Edit: Why is this film under the title "Fast Track"? Its name is "The Ex" on the dvd cover and on the disc itself. Nowhere is there a mention of "Fast Track". Say, database problem, anyone?!?]
