HotToastyRag Real-life (at the time) couple Jennifer Aniston and Vince Vaughn starred in a movie called The Break-Up. Did neither one of them think that was a bad idea? In the movie, they play a couple who break up but still cohabitate in the same apartment. There's a few funny jokes, and it's not the worst romantic comedy in the world, but it's not the best, either. Aniston isn't really given much to do, and Vaughn is given his usual free reign on his microphone. If he doesn't usually annoy you, and you like Aniston when she coasts through a romantic comedy, you'll make it through this one.As usual, I'm not giving any spoilers, but I really like one of the endings. Included in the DVD is an alternate ending, because the studio found the original ending didn't test well. I won't tell you which one I liked, but you can rest assured there's an option in case you're not happy with the end.

studioAT Does Jennifer Aniston ever get bored of playing the same sort of role over and over again. OK, she's branched out a little into dramas, and some darker comedic far with 'Horrible Bosses' (which ironically was horrible) but 'The Break-Up' pretty much sums up the sort of film she's made her whole career.It's an average film that misleads you into thinking your getting a high class comedy, and then whacks you over the head with lots of dramatic moments.It's not half as funny or serious as it thinks it is, and that's ultimately why it's only an average film rather than a good one.

Davis P The Break Up starring Jennifer Aniston and Vince Vaughn gave me mixed feelings. The beginning is solid, the dramatic scenes involving the break up were well done and very well acted by Aniston and Vaughn. They both did well in their roles here, they didn't have great material to work with all throughout the film, sometimes they did, but not consistently. The plot is pretty standard and can be clichéd at times, but it wasn't terribly clichéd. For me, the comedy and the laughs weren't really there in this movie. I did like the more dramatic scenes, but the comedic scenes and jokes just didn't really work. That's this movies biggest flaw. The ending was very smart and pleasing, I enjoyed it, it's an ending that not a lot in this genre take. 6/10.

blockheadry I like to give credit where credit is due, the acting in this film is actually decent, it just feels like it's in the wrong genre, This film is meant to be a Rom-Com, and even by Rom-Com standards, this film isn't good, the film is far,far to serious and depressing, there are really only TWO jokes in this entire film... and they both fall flat and just come off awkward.If this film was under the genre of a romantic drama I would probably rate the film a 5/10 but as it is a failed comedy it has to loose marks in my opinionSummary: Pros -The acting is not too badCons -For a comedy the film is way too serious and uncomfortable - The only 2 jokes in the entire film are easy, cheap jokes that some how still feel awkward and out of context
