    i've seen better...
    The Break-Up wasn't my favorite movie, let's put it that way. i love both Vince Vaughn and Jennifer Aniston, but this movie just wasn't up to par. it wasn't that the acting was bad, but more the plot. it's about a break up. how eventful can that be? many of the scenes were a little uncomfortable...kind of like watching your parents fight. sitting through arguments is pretty exhausting after a while. it's a classic struggle between the female and male race. there are communication gaps between men and women and the movie highlights how we just don't understand each other sometimes. and, as many people probably saw in the previews, there are more gay jokes, which i think is just immature and inappropriate. i really could have done without those.

    other than that, it was a "cute" movie. not a life-changing movie, or one that you would see more than once, or even one that you would tell people they "just have to see." it had comedy, which was appreciated, and great acting, i think.
