Review of The Break-Up

The Break-Up (2006)
1/10
Comedic Break Down
7 April 2007
Warning: Spoilers
This film had potential. The first half was funny. The second half suddenly shifted from comedy to drama. The result was a waste of two hours. There was no chemistry between Vince and Jennifer on screen, so it's not surprising that their off-screen romance fizzled, too. The movie was a cliché-ridden stench. Vince Vaughn had the typical "fun" job you see in all the chick flicks. He spoke on a microphone to tourists on a tour bus. Jennifer Aniston's job was to stand around in an art gallery. Wow. Several eccentric supporting characters could have been developed, but the movie shifted to Vince and Jen. Jennifer Aniston seemed to spend the entire film in humorless cross-your-arms-over your-chest negative body language mode while pursing her lips. Why is her skin so orange? She looks like a Chee-to wearing a wig. The film ended on an ambiguous note, further reinforcing the fact that you wasted your time.
