Leave your thoughts about The Break-Up.
| Projection BoothRob HumanickHigh-aimed intentions are thrown askew by the reliance on inconsistent laughs seemingly meant to break the otherwise overriding tension. |
| FilmJerk.comBrian OrndorfBreak-Up could be viewed as the ultimate romantic comedy; the rare picture that makes one thank heaven for all the good relationships they've managed to luck into. |
| Palo Alto WeeklyTyler HanleyAkin to an unhealthy relationship, this self-described 'anti-romantic comedy' begins hot and heavy before buckling beneath the weight of pointless conflicts and ridiculous game-playing. |
| Associated PressChristy LemireWhen they break up, which happens pretty early in this self-professed 'anti-romantic comedy,' it doesn't seem tragic. It just makes sense. |
| CompuserveHarvey S. KartenA break-up of people from 2 different cultural worlds is inevitable, but this illustration does not rise beyond sitcom. |
| Cinema em CenaPablo VillaçaTende mais a drama com toques cômicos %u2013 e se você entrar no cinema compreendendo isto, certamente terá muito mais facilidade de se envolver com a história. |
| Now Playing MagazineBrent SimonThere's nothing broken about The Break-Up, which turns rom-com conventions on their side in free-wheeling fashion, and in doing so colorfully, wittily celebrates what it is about men and women that both attract one another and drives us crazy. |
| Baltimore SunChris KaltenbachIt's easier to accept a breakup when it's clear that the two parties are mismatched, but a better, braver film would reveal what caused the initial attraction. |
| Midwest Film Journal Nick RogersA love-it-or-hate-it mainstream romantic comedy in that makes a frill-free connection with its audience, whether that audience wants it or not. There's nothing wrong with something that delivers belly laughs before striking at gut level. |
| Groucho ReviewsPeter CanaveseAt least one draft short of brilliance....[but] more palatable than the typical romantic comedy, thanks in large part to Vaughn's engaging duets with the ensemble. |
