Review of The Break-Up (2006) by Rachael — 14 Jun 2006
I've recently seen hillarious recut trailers for "movies" such as "Brokeback to the Future" and The Shining Redux, called simply, "Shining". (If you haven't seen these yet, check them out).
They're makers prove a point, which is that movie footage can be manipulated to create trailers that seems to belong to completely different movies. I think The Break-Up suffered from a little bit of this.
After viewing the trailer, most people who went to see it were likely expecting a light, breezy romantic comedy (ugh) and I'm sure were greatly disappointed. This movie is much more About Last Night (minus the almost pornographic elements) than it is How to Lose a Guy in Ten Days.
As such, it is a wonderfully realistic portrayal of a relationship gone sour. If you like to see real life reflected on the big screen, go see this. If you're looking for escape, look elsewhere.
