Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

Very Cool!!!

a film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.

The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

Real-life (at the time) couple Jennifer Aniston and Vince Vaughn starred in a movie called The Break-Up. Did neither one of them think that was a bad idea? In the movie, they play a couple who break up but still cohabitate in the same apartment. There's a few funny jokes, and it's not the worst romantic comedy in the world, but it's not the best, either. Aniston isn't really given much to do, and Vaughn is given his usual free reign on his microphone. If he doesn't usually annoy you, and you like Aniston when she coasts through a romantic comedy, you'll make it through this one.As usual, I'm not giving any spoilers, but I really like one of the endings. Included in the DVD is an alternate ending, because the studio found the original ending didn't test well. I won't tell you which one I liked, but you can rest assured there's an option in case you're not happy with the end.

"The Break-Up" is an American English-language film from 2006, so this one had its 10th anniversary last year. It was directed by Peyton Reed, who was in the headlines not too long ago thanks to the new Ant-Man movie. The script comes from Jeremy Garelick and Jay Lavender and for both of them, this 100-minute film is probably still their most known work. Which really says nothing positive in their favor. The reason for that is that this film we have here is the epitome of a forgettable romantic comedy. Most of the jokes aren't working at all and I personally found it difficult honestly to like any of the two protagonists, let alone cheer for them. It also proves than Vince Vaughn is not lead actor material at all and that Jennifer Aniston, no matter how much of a sweetheart and darling she may be, is no lead actress material either. At least if we go by 2006 standards. I have not seen her more recent work like the one film that she almost got Oscar-nominated for.Anyway, the story here is about a couple on the verge of split-up throughout the entire film and they are basically only still somewhat together because neither wants to give up on their amazing apartment. So what is the solution? Both give up on it. Doesn't make any sense to be honest. Besides, the comedy relies on stuff like Aniston's character running around naked after they basically split up already to get him horny and maybe agree to leave the house to get away from his ex provoking him, but not letting him get any. Or him playing video games for hours with her new potential boyfriends. It's just not entertaining. Quality actors like Davis, D'Onofrio and Bateman (actually all better than the leads) are wasted for pointless supporting characters that add nothing to the story, perhaps in a desperate attempt by the filmmakers to prove to us that Aniston and Vaughn are on a higher level. They may be bigger names, but they just don't have the range. Anyway, with the ending they probably tried to be creative and actually make a dramatic impact also with them actually splitting up as one could have thought throughout the entire film that they may get together again. But of course, they weren't bold enough to really go for it all and instead include an uninspired fake happy ending in which the romantically hopeless (I am not talking actual romantics, but just the desperate) can think that they are really getting back together in fact. Of course these are the ones who also consider Jennifer Aniston one of the best actresses from her generation. Four stars out of ten is still extremely generous for this really bad film. I recommend to stay far far away.

Vince Vaughn and Jennifer Aniston star in this 2006 romantic comedy-drama. This takes place in Chicago, Illinois where we meet Gary (Vaughn), a tour guide and his girlfriend, Brooke (Aniston), an art dealer. Soon, things drastically change for them when Gary doesn't step up in their relationship. They both drift apart, but decide to stay in their condo where things get tense. They seek advice from friends and relatives, but eventually they both realize they have to change. Joey Lauren Adams, Judy Davis, Ann-Margret, Justin Long, Vincent D'Onofrio and Cole Hauser appear and Vaughn's frequent collaborators, Jason Bateman, Peter Billingsley, John Michael Higgins and John Favreau also appear. This isn't bad, it has some humorous and dramatic moments and Vaughn & Aniston are good together. I recommend this.

Gary Grobowski (Vince Vaughn) is a loud mouth boorish Neanderthal who works as a tour guide in Chicago. Brooke Meyers (Jennifer Aniston) works at an art gallery and feels completely neglected by him. They fight and they break up. Only neither of them are willing to move out of their luxury apartment and a war of the sexes ensues.He is an insensitive idiot. It's not a new character for Vince and it's getting tiresome. She's a high maintenance girlfriend disguised as the girl next door. Again it's not a new character. They are not likable characters and I'm getting tired of the actors doing the same thing over and over again. They don't make for a good couple, and they don't have good chemistry. They should never be together in the first place. The only good thing is that they don't get back together.This is meant to be a comedy. But there is too much serious anger and hate to be funny. It had a chance of this being a dark comedy, but nobody here could figure out how to make one.
