Plot: Pushed to the breaking-up point after their latest "why can't you do this one little thing for me?" argument, art dealer Brooke calls it quits with her boyfriend, Gary, who hosts bus tours of Chicago....( read more read more... ) What follows is a series of remedies, war tactics, overtures and underminings, suggested by the former couple's friends, confidantes and the occasional total stranger. When neither ex is willing to move out of the condo they used to share, the only solution is to continue living as hostile roommates until somebody caves. But, somewhere between protesting the pool table in the living room the filthy clothes stacked in the kitchen cupboards and the sports played at sleep-killing volume in the middle of the night, Brooke begins to realize that what she may be really fighting for isn't so much the place but the person.

    Vince Vaughn and Jennifer Aniston are superb- they are both so credible and organic in these roles. Not sure about the bizarre-ish people the characters may surround themselves in the movie- family, friends and co-workers definitely are weird- but maybe they serve as a springboard to really bring the 2 main characters to life. In any case, so refreshing to watch a movie that is realistic and unpretentious. The opening scenes are scrapbook photos when the couple were together- they were wonderful- the exact types of photos most of us have in our own scrapbooks. It isn't an indie art-house film, but a big production that doesn't follow a relationship formulaic predictor for ratings, insead it portrays arguments and a break up in a realistic way. Lack of communication, lack of effort, too much pride, battles over what isn't so important but seems so at the time- all that. Jason Bateman is fantastic as Riggleman the real estate agent. He's perfectly smarmy and subtle and amusing. The drama of The Break-Up is almost dripping with subversive anger as the two characters force friends to take sides, bitterly fight over the smallest of tidbits, and generally run slipshod over their once prosperous lives. And although we've seen similar films with similar themes, the one thing that helped give this flick a more positive rating was that it didn't slip into cliché at the end.

    I don't do chick-flicks. I don't care that Aniston is naked in the movie, no matter how nice her butt is. Snore.

    This movie was much funnier than I thought it would be and I was really surprised at how well Vaughn and Aniston worked together. Good humor/romance movie.

    I'm glad that she left him in the end, but it was still a terrible movie overall. The acting and interaction wasn't very good.
