songbirdmc As per usual this movie was marketed as a comendy and IT ISN'T. Why do they wish to mislead the audience so much!? Duh! Because they want us to spend money on the movie even if it means that we regret it! I remember my sister and I were absolutely starving for a good comedy and the previews looked somewhat promising and I'm a fan of Jennifer Aniston and I guess you could say Vince Vaughn as well. I swear as I was sitting in the theater I kept expecting it to take a turn that would put it on the track I expected it to go on. But it never does. You would think something unexpected would be good, but it isn't.Sadly, this movie is sad. S A D. First, because of the breakup and then the heartache that follows, but also because of the comedy that was attempted and failed horribly. I found myself thinking will this scene ever end!? Multiple times. It's just going and going and going and they expect us to find it funny, but it's actually horrible and painful to sit through. Speaking of painful -that ending! What even was that? They left it so open to interpretation. I really wish they would have given us more of an idea of whether or not they would possibly reconcile. I'm guessing not. I really hate movies that don't have a definitive ending.I wanted to love it, but unfortunately I didn't even like it.

Athaya Arya This movie really did surprise me. I was actually shocked of the low ratings. This movie may not have a big twist or conflict. It also doesn't have complicated storyline. This movie actually is pretty simple. It tells a story of a couple who is on a though times of their relationship. How that problem could take them somewhere they never thought before. And how by overcoming it, they found something else inside them that is actually the answer of all their problems. You will see a lot of yelling scenes, but also heartbreaking and heartfelt moments. And the best part is that you could totally relate to these characters, or to the story. You will realize that this is actually very realistic, these moments in the movie could actually happen in real lives. Such a beautiful balance.I must say that i have no doubt on vince and jen's acting. Clever comedians who are also able to nail the serious moments too. You will laugh on their jokes, you will smile when the romantic scene comes, and you will cry when the sad moment comes (seriously i cried so much on the last 30mins). Very well acted.This may not be the best romcom movie of all time, but the break-up sure is worth to watch. Especially if you want to see one of the most realistic story of romcoms.

mettafriend This movie is not what I expected. I would not call it a comedy, but rather a Drama with comedic components. Jennifer Aniston does a fantastic job playing a very realistic woman in a relationship with someone she fell in love with, but really shouldn't be in a relationship with in the first place. She battles between letting go and, as many people do, holding on because its a known quantity and there are some good memories. Vince Vaughn's character is a child in a man's body. He is charming and there's a reason why Aniston's character fell in love with him. But in the end, he's a self-centered emotionally-unintelligent man unable to see rationally or beyond his own self-interests. I was annoyed at times when Jennifer's character wouldn't let go and move on. She is so out of Vince's character's league. But, it actually happens a lot in real life. The end is surprising and relieving. Loved it.

Emilia "The Break up" is a film that incorporates a real life situation into a film that is relatable and well rounded. This film produces a new look at relationships and the hardships that are bound to come between two people. The director interestingly takes a new, and innovative approach on this film by not making it a happy ending story, but in fact making it a sad ending where neither person in the couple regains what they truly want--each other. The director continuously reinforces the idea that couples aren't always happy and go through trials just like everyone else. By doing this, it makes the film a more relatable thing to watch for an older audience. Although this film is overall an enjoyable film to watch, I would not consider it classic or a very popular film. Though in it's time it may have been very popular amongst adults and teenagers, it's overall value has decreased with time. Many think this is due to the fact that the film is too generic with no real 'closure' at the end of the film. Others speculate that it's just another relationship movie. I believe this film decreased in popularity due to both of these reasons. It attracts many of the older audience to this film, but once you've seen it, you've seen it and there's not much more to gain. Overall, I believe this film holds many morals and messages within it. All relationships have problems at one point or another and I believe this film explores those ideas fairly well. It teaches us that if you love someone, you sacrifice what you want to make the other person happy. It's also equally important that both partners are emotionally satisfied in the relationship in order for it to work out in the end for both parties. The director installations that in his film by getting a deeper look of the phases couples go through after a break up, which made the film stronger in the long run.The director in this film did a good job of showing the internal conflict of both the people in the relationship and how that affected the well being of the external conflict. By showing both sides of this relationship and how both people thought out their next move, it brought to light many of the questions people have in their own relationship. Brooke's internal conflict was feeling unappreciated in the relationship, and Gary's internal conflict was being confused and wanting freedom. Both of these problems contributed to the bridged external conflict, the break up and the aftermath it left on their friends and family. The director brought to light these two characters equally into the plot, which strengthened the audience's connection to both characters. This film explores relationships and the struggles one goes through very well. I would recommend this movie and give it a 7 on the wow scale.
