Review of The Break-Up (2006) by Jeffs. — 14 Jun 2006

Sure, it's not going to win any Oscars, and it doesn't make you think "wow, that's the funniest movie I've ever seen". However, it's a fun movie. As with most actors and actresses, some views may like them while others do not.

For me, I'm a fan of both Aniston and Vaugn, and I enjoyed them both in this movie. Admittently, some of the fight scenes go a little long (you can only sit still during a relationship fight scene for so long before getting uncomfortable), but there are enough funny bits to make it effective.

As others have said, this movie is about a breakup, and the actors were convincing enough to make me believe their emotional investment and hardship. In the end, I left the movie threater feeling entertained.

At least it's a break from the typical romantic comedy genre...
