October 2, 2009Two very unlikable people (who are perfect for each other) argue for an hour and 46 minutes. That's it. No happy ending, no happy beginning and utter misery in the middle. Do something better with your life than watch this! Read a book, paint a picture or plant a seed, just don't...( read more)

October 1, 2009probably jennifer anistons best part in anything. she manages not to come across as a conceited bitch for once! ironic that i should say this about a film that seems to travel down that path only. her character is one of more emotional depth than a sheet of paper though, so unusu...( read more)

September 29, 2009Not a huge fan of Vaughn. Usually charmed by Aniston. Most torturous to sit through all the common romantic comedy ploys of an on-again off-again couple.
-
September 22, 2009A very funny Rom-com without being too soppy. A lot of funny scenes that both sexes should enjoy as a couple try to get back at each other over their break up. A film many will relate to as the plans to out do each other keep escalating all the time as neither want to leave their...( read more)

October 26, 2009I thought it would be a really funny movie, but my expectations were not met. Too bad.

October 25, 2009I really enjoyed this. But it was sad in a happy kind of way. They made the ending work. Almost like there was a hope for "something"

October 23, 2009I was sorely disappointed by this film. I love rom-coms, I love Jeniffer Aniston, I love Vince Vaughn but I did not love this film.
The first 15 minutes are pretty good, until the break up, then it all goes down hill and becomes boring, the last 15 minutes it seemed to pick up un...( read more) -

It might not be the frosted lemon tart that's been advertised for months, but it is solid, satisfying fare -- flecked with humor, grounded in pain. full review

Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
For the movie to work, we would have to like the couple and want them to succeed. Despite some sincere 11th-hour soul-searching by Gary, we're sorry, but we don't want them back together, we want them... full review

If you value your time and your relationship, don't see this on a date. full review

Stephanie Zacharek, Salon.com
The Break-Up doesn't know whether it wants to be a facile, enjoyable date movie or an unnerving examination of the dark, pockmarked underbelly of everything we expect out of romantic relationships. full review

A.O. Scott, The New York Times
Vince Vaughn and Jennifer Aniston play a couple on the splits in a desultory modern version of the classic comedies of remarriage of the 1930's and 40's.
June 1, 2006
Colin Covert, The Minneapolis Star Tribune
The Break-Up is like an uncomfortable party that you can't wait to leave. full review

Peter Travers, Rolling Stone
Until a cop-out ending, this is War of the Roses territory, where laughs take no prisoners. full review

David Edelstein, New York Magazine
The movie plays like Scenes From a Marriage for 14-year-olds. full review

February 19, 2007I'm glad that she left him in the end, but it was still a terrible movie overall. The acting and interaction wasn't very good.
