Trivialidades:

In the opening scene at Wrigley Field, Jon Favreau makes a reference to going to "Wiener Circle" to have hot dogs after the game. Wiener Circle is a hot dog stand famous for the staff yelling and cursing at you when you order. If you do not return the favor, they do not take your order. Generally, though, this only happens late at night on the weekends.

Errores:

Continuidad: When Brooke is on the phone after her dinner-party, she picks up a martini glass full of fruit off of the counter, empties the fruit into the garbage and then places it in the sink. In subsequent views of the counter, the glass reappears and disappears.

Citas:

Gary: Come on, come on, come on.

Painful to Watch

I was expecting a romantic comedy. Although there were some comedic elements, The Break Up was too shrill and combative to qualify as a romantic comedy. Several scenes were uncomfortable to watch. Jennifer Anniston lacked her usual spark. Vince Vaughn's performance was lackluster. One of my favorite actors, Jason Bateman, I hate to say it, sucked. One can only blame the director for taking such good actors and having them turn out such mediocre performances. The minor characters were not well developed, and even the major characters lacked a third dimension or like-ability. The script was also lacking. I would recommend that you not waste your money on this tripe. If you are looking for a light-hearted, feel-good romantic comedy, The Break-Up is to be avoided. Go look for something British instead.
