Probably the biggest reason a lot of people went to see this movie is that the star couple in this movie is Jennifer Aniston and Vince Vaughn, who are also going out in real life. These filmmakers are pretty smart, wait, they started going out after the making of this movie. Never mind, these filmmakers are just lucky because I believe without them going out in real life, this movie wouldn't have made the money it did. I could say The Break-Up has a fresh and original plot that just had too many flaws to keep up with. The last thing I would call The Break-Up is a comedy. This movie is just too depressing to be a comedy, therefore it goes under drama, although it really is a dramedy. The Break-Up begins on a baseball game where Gary Grobowski (Vince Vaughn) and Brooke Meyers (Jennifer Aniston) first meet with each other. At first sight, Gary ends up "wowing" Brooke and then we are taken to the beginning credits, where we see almost two years pass by taken in pictures and how their relations only looks perfect. We then see them arguing up to the point where Brooke just cannot take it anymore. Riggleman (Jason Bateman) is their realtor and suggests some time apart on account of their condition of not being a healthy couple. After another loud and obnoxious argument, they both think that the other is trying to keep the condo none of them can afford all to themseleves. I mean come on, Gary is a tour guide who works on top of a double-decker bus that goes around Chicago and Brooke is just an assistant for some art deco or something. I know those two jobs added together don't equal that nice, fancy, and large condo complex. Out of major stupidity, the two continue to start living with each other which eventually leads to a war between the two which then leads to heartbreaks and then to choices that Gary and Brooke must decide. Now, there are some funny moments in The Break-Up, mostly from Vince Vaughn, who kills me with his usual jokes. I mean he was really funny. I also loved it when they put Vince Vaughn and Jon Favreau as Gary's best friend together because they had chemistry and they were just great together. Also, John Michael Higgins as Brooke's gay brother, Richard, provided some laughs. The real problems lay within the main story, including the missing chemistry from Gary and Brooke. I saw zero chemistry between them, which made me question if there is any chemistry between Vince and Jennifer? Also, the two rage out in some really harsh war. After awhile, I got tired of it, Brooke and Gary started acting like immature little kids. It's not realistic at all. I mean, if you had two people who just broke up living together still, I don't know if they would be this harsh together. Obviously, if they were mature enough, they would of broke it up like mature adults. But no, it's just some lame and unrealistic movie where they just hurt each other, and it just wasn't funny, it was just kind of sick to see these two people just get in this all out war that makes the audience seem bored. Honestly, I didn't really care for these two characters all that much. I mean, they're both likeable characters, but after I saw what they did to each other, I just lost total interest in both of them. Another thing, we hardly got to see anytime where Gary and Brooke were actually happy, I think we actually need some more time with their happy times to have to endure their unhappy times. The Break-Up just seemed to be a dull and lifeless bore with really no point and a very abrupt ending that came out of nowhere. The next question is "is it a date movie?" The answer is no, do not even think of taking a girl out to this movie, you're making the wrong choice. It's just a depressing, boring, and unpleasant experience that may even get you dumped after the movie. Now I wouldn't say it's predictable because the ending did get me as a surprise, but other than that, almost none of this works. It's just a stupid and pointless disappointment that I would not recommend to anyone. My grade for The Break-Up: D+
