The Break-Up (2006)
7/10
Quite enjoyable
10 November 2018
There have been several romantic comedies which have seemingly came and went and seemed to be forgotten. The Break-Up was quite a success at both arguably the peaks and primes of Vince Vaughn and Jennifer Aniston's career. They deliver great performances and the chemistry shows throughout which is the main reason as to why this film worked as it does, as they both make it more enjoyable than need be. Vaughn is funny in his deliver and mannerisms and Jennifer Aniston is quite lovely, and although unlikable at times, the character works.

With little knowledge of the film expect remembering hearing about its success years ago, one was cautious of watching as many romantic comedies tend to be overly try-hard funny, or too emotional and romantic, and predictable.

The Break-Up feels quite different in sense though somewhat feels as a plot for a television series. What is quite good and different in the film is that it doesn't try too hard at being romantic and lovely. And within the end, we see that a happy ending isn't always the most predictable one.

Recommend for those not typically into the typical romantic comedies but something to be more relaxed in and not think too much.
