It’s weird to give such a poor rating to a comedy which made me laugh quite a bit. Several things bothered me about The Break-up. First, I identified with Vince Vaughn’s character at some awkward times. Never enjoyable to identify with the clueless “infantile” guy of the movie. Second, the only relationship that didn’t suffer some kind of meltdoown at some point was Jennifer Aniston and her boss. Every other relationship was awful at some point. Finally, the whole movie was uneven. It’s a shame this movie didn’t work better. It had some fun moments and a good cast. It successfully created several nice moments that were ruined by the insubstantial moments that followed.

Kirk Honeycutt from Rotten Tomatoes says “The movie is amusing and clever but only skin deep”. That sums up how I felt afterwards pretty well. (oops. forgot to rate it)
