If you’ve seen the Luke Wilson/Uma Thurman comedy My Super Ex-Girlfried (and who hasn’t?) you’ve basically seen Burying the Ex. The only difference is instead of the psycho ex being a superhero, in this case she’s a zombie.
Max (Anton Yelchin) is in a relationship with the lovely but difficult Evelyn (Ahsley Green of Twilight fame). Max slowly--way too slowly--realizes she’s not the one after a drawn out 20-minute setup in which Evelyn is painted as an emotionally fragile, impossibly shrewish eco-warrior. She won’t let him eat meat or dairy because she’s a vegan. She made him sell his car because it wasn’t a hybrid, forcing him to ride a kiddie scooter to work. She ridicules his job, hates his taste in home décor, etc. The only things that keep Max coming back are A) she’s way hot and B) he’s too much of a coward to break it off and hurt her feelings. Fate intervenes in the form of a car accident leaving Max free to pursue a much better match with Olivia (Alexandra Daddario from True Detective and San Andreas). Like Evelyn, Olivia also happens to be breathtakingly gorgeous and head-over-heels for bland, spineless, dead end job having Max. The prize for the most far-fetched part of the movie is really a toss-up between that and the magic totem that raises Evelyn from the dead.
