The Break Up Movie Review Starring Vince Vaughn and Jennifer Aniston

June 10th 2006

Vaughn and Aniston

Years ago I had thought I watched the worst romantic dramady of all time in the film The Story of Us. A film starring Bruce Willis and Michelle Pfeiffer as a married couple at odds. They spend the entire film bickering and trying to reconcile their relationship while outside influences I.E. friends and family members butt their misguided advice into the fiasco.

The Break Up is essentially the same film but stars Vince Vaughn and Jennifer Anniston as the bickering couple, not married, but all together bickering. You have Vaughn’s buddy Jon Favreau who has starred in a number of films with Vaughn as well as directed films starring the unimpressive cast of characters.

Basically the movie was an awkward mess. It would be like if you were over visiting friends and all they did was yell and scream at each other and there was no door with which to escape them.

I took advantage of the buy 1 get 1 free ticket sale at Fandago and I still feel as if I was duped out of my money. The film that is labeled as a comedy offers few laughs and worse falls short of an ending as if the writer just decided that he had something better to do then end this horrible film on a light or even hard hearted hope. I give this film a 0 on the 1 to 10 scale. Avoid.
