The Break-Up Trailers

Pushed to the breaking-up point after their latest 'why can't you do this one little thing for me?' argument, Brooke calls it quits with her boyfriend Gary. What follows is a hilarious series of remedies, war tactics, overtures and undermining tricks – all encouraged by the former couple's friends and confidantes …and the occasional total stranger! When neither ex is willing to move out of their shared apartment, the only solution is to continue living as hostile roommates until one of them reaches breaking point.

Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.

The Break Up starring Jennifer Aniston and Vince Vaughn gave me mixed feelings. The beginning is solid, the dramatic scenes involving the break up were well done and very well acted by Aniston and Vaughn. They both did well in their roles here, they didn't have great material to work with all throughout the film, sometimes they did, but not consistently. The plot is pretty standard and can be clichéd at times, but it wasn't terribly clichéd. For me, the comedy and the laughs weren't really there in this movie. I did like the more dramatic scenes, but the comedic scenes and jokes just didn't really work. That's this movies biggest flaw. The ending was very smart and pleasing, I enjoyed it, it's an ending that not a lot in this genre take. 6/10.

I've long postponed to see this movie because it's about a break-up. Although this could be a refreshing subject, it's not always something you're in the mood for. The design of the poster suggested a romantic comedy so I expected it to be full of clichés. And how interesting can a story be when it's about everyday stereotypical fights that men and women have... Well, it wasn't.The first half of this movie was downright boring. If anything, it reminded me of real-life situations in which people were fighting and others stood by in awkward silence. By chance, I saw the episode of the Simpsons in which Milhouse's parents fight and want a divorce right before I watched this movie. And it had the exact same 'dinner party with Pictionary' scene in it!So the first half of the movie made me feel awkward and bored. I didn't get why these people ended up together in the first place. His attempts to win her were kind of creepily obsessive and pushy... As the audience, you obviously think he's a selfish prick (with both all the realistic and all the over the top absurd male clichés thrown at you). But then they do the same for the female main character and you don't really care anymore. You don't even want them to get back together. It was basically two children trying to make each other jealous, anyway.Still, this movie has something to offer that made me rate it 5: - It made me curious about the ending, although I didn't really care. - It was pretty cool how the dull and ridiculous bald guy actually turns out to be the one telling his friend Gary the truth. - It was surprising to see the self-centered boss of Brooke somehow turn into a likable lady.But the biggest reason to give this utterly boring movie 5 stars is: My partner spontaneously started doing the dishes after watching it. Whether it was the impact of the movie on his conscience or the sudden exciting appeal of the dishes after watching a boring movie, I don't know. But I guess it pays off, in a way. ;)

The overused formula: The guy is classless and unattractive and the girl is classy, meant to be attractive and with taste. The guy talks like the guy from "King of Queens" to his wife. He also talks like Jack Black in the 'lazy throw away lines way' - this type of "attractive girl marries slob of a man and ends up annoyed" formula is done to death. It also isn't funny anymore.Typical Jennifer Aniston vehicle where she overacts and whines at a man while being high maintenance and complains to her friends about him(makes you wonder if that's how she really is- if so congrats on getting out Mr Pitt).Can you believe this film is being used by psychiatrists to explain how men and women think differently. In reality it isn't even about how men and women think differently. It's about a dramatized relationship with extreme people who really wouldn't be together anyway and everyone else on the planet would want to divorce if it meant they could get away from them. Who makes their husband go out and buy lemons to decorate a table anyway? First world Hollywood Housewives problem.
