The Break Up

K and I were watching "The Benchwarmers" a month ago and we both saw the trailer of "The Break Up". It looked interesting and funny, so I decided to watch it.

Here's something that I got from yahoo movies...

Pushed to the breaking-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. 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 dirty 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.

To be honest, there were a few funny scenes here and there, but it's not a movie that I would like to watch all over again. I didn't find any chemistry between the two actors (which is weird because they're dating in real life, right?)

There was even one review at yahoo that perfectly described how I felt about the movie: "it's so broken, even the capable stars can't fix it."

Bottomline is, it shouldn't be considered a romantic comedy because all you will see in the movie are constant bickerings and seeking of bad peices of advice from their estranged best friends.

I reccommend this movie to my single friends who are happy that they are out of a relationship because this movie will just show you the awful side of what a relationship is all about.

I hated the ending. By the end of the movie, I got so tired, I fell asleep.
