Review
of the Movie, The Breakup
The Break Up - Review
Without a doubt "The Break Up" tries to get
away from the typical Hollywood "romantic comedy" genre. The movie actually
tries to show exactly how real couples break up in real life. After all,
no longer do we buy the "true love conquers all" image depicted in films
like "when Harry met Sally" or "You've got Mail". The public deals with divorce
every single day, so why not in the movies as well?
The Break Up shows all possible grievances,
pet peeves and arguments you can imagine between a couple. It is not so much
a comedy but rather a description of the real differences between men and
women and a bit of a social study on complex relationships. The script does
package all this in a comic jacket though, making the movie pleasant to watch,
even though the truth hitting you in the face can be uncomfortable. |

| Especially for people who have
just gone through a break up this movie can bring back some memories and
either make you feel utterly miserable, or show you you are really not alone.
The great plus about this movie is the fact that
it does not fall in the romantic comedy trap, but instead is brutally honest.
For a Hollywood production that is quite refreshing!
The relationship between Brooke (Jennifer Aniston)
and Gary (Vince Vaughn) is a long term stagnant one. They share a nice apartment
together and when in a whim they decide to break up, neither of them wants
to leave the apartment. As with many relationships between men and women,
Brooke doesn't say what she wants, and Gary can't guess it. |

| Instead of focusing on the beginning
of relationships, like many other movies do, the Break up focuses on the
end. However, is it really the end? At first they try to get the other person
to move out by doing exactly everything that frustrates them. However, neither
one budges, and as the movie progresses, both characters seem to want each
other back. Especially Brooke puts in an effort to seduce Gary. Basically
from her end she does not want to loose Gary, but rather "teach him a lesson".
This is a bit of a flaw in the story, because it brings the movie back to
your standard "Man-grows-up-into-sensitive-adult" story like we saw in Liar
Liar, As Good As It Gets, and Bruce Almighty. The script should have stuck
to a story about a couple, and how both sides make mistakes in a relationship,
instead of emphasizing almost only the man's shortcomings.
The Break up is interesting rather than a "good
laugh", and personally made me look at my own relationships, and break ups.
However, when I want entertainment I personally prefer to fool myself with
mushy romantic comedies that tell me true love does exist and doesn't need
to end. On the flip side though, The Break Up does a great job of showing
that the end of a relationship does not have to be the end of the world.
That in itself is worth the movie!
