The Break-Up Review

The Break-Up wasn’t as funny as I expected considering the last Vince Vaughn movie I saw was Wedding Crashers, which was hilarious. The movie is not bad, although I would say wait for it on DVD. At certain points, the fighting got a little too realistic and stopped being funny. Instead the audience felt more awkward as if they were really observing a real fight. Despite some serious arguments, Vince Vaughn does bring about most of the laughs. Besides Vince’s co-star Jennifer Aniston, the rest of the cast is surprisingly recognizable. Jason Bateman, Joey Lauren Adams, Vincent D’onofrio and Jon Favreau all make appearances. The Break-Up does a fairly good job characterizing general relationship problems, which helps the audience identify with the characters. Because of this, Vaughn and Aniston don’t seem as crazy with the extremes that they go to. In the end, I did like seeing the results of both character’s arcs.

The Break-Up = Wait for DVD
