Andre Bharti’s My Ex-Ex, The Hangover meets Pretty Woman

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.


What happens when a brokenhearted woman visits a medium in hopes of getting her ex back? A  heart-warming romantic comedy is the answer. My Ex-Ex is a new Canadian romcom that takes a light-hearted look at love after heartbreak, friendship and psychic prophecy. Shot in Toronto, the film was written by and stars Ontario native André Bharti and features an all-Canadian cast that includes Katherine Barrell, Ray Galletti and Luba Goy of Royal Canadian Air Farce fame. This refreshing spin on an old story infuses the classic love tale with wit, charm and comedic timing.

The movie opens with our heroine Mary (Katherine Barrell) poised to make the biggest decision of her life, sort of. Mary, who is in what appears to be a one-sided relationship with an egotistical businessman named Ted (Ray Galletti), is convinced he is on verge of popping the question. When Ted asks her to meet him for dinner, Mary is further convinced that she is about to become the future Mrs. Rosen. Dressed in her best outfit, Mary meets Ted ready to yell ‘yes!’.  However Ted has different plans. He has chosen the chic public venue not to start the new chapter of their lives, but to close the book on their relationship.

Mary can’t seem to shake the loss as she retreats into hermit mode, refusing to leave her apartment and opting for her first true love – junk food and binge TV. To help lure Mary from her funk, her gal pals Sandra (Emily Alatalo) and Becky (Tamara Durate) suggest that a visit to a local medium may offer the relief Mary needs. Psychic Mona Lisa (Luba Goy) has more than a hand reading in mind for the distraught Mary and offers her a love spell to win back her ex.

While awaiting an apologetic Ted to lament his remorse and beg for her back, Mary decides to do a little shopping. Lost in thought she bumps into a stranger, who turns out to be Patrick (André Bharti) her ex-ex, uhoh. Is this the ex that Mona Lisa’s spell conjured up?

We soon learn that our nice heroine was once the dumper and broke Patrick’s heart. Patrick’s friends, who instantly induce comparisons to the gentlemen in the Hangover, offer up some of the funniest well-timed jokes in the film and are an instant juxtaposition to Mary’s girlfriends. Patrick is obviously still in love with Mary, but she can’t decide if the well-meaning man trapped in a frat-boy’s mentality has the potential to offer her the life she so desperately wants.

The eclectic Canadian cast stacked with acting vets and newcomers to the scene help to round out this quirky and fun film about love, loss and growth. My Ex-Ex has been likened to Pretty Woman on crack by André Bharti, the film’s writer and star. However, through its nuanced perspective of love seen through the lens of both sexes, the film stands sturdily on its own legs as an interesting and clever take on romantic comedy in the digital era.
