Love alone would not keep any Relationship Alive
From the movie's trailer, I thought I be in for a wacky time in the theatre watching The Break Up. On the contrary and to my surprise, I sort of learnt something, about relationship, from the movie.
Well, many things have been said that any couple have to work together to maintain their relationship. But the movie has depicted, as if giving you a slap on the face, that living together, as a couple, is never a fairy tale. From daily chores of cleaning up the house to putting up with habits (bad or good) of either party, every moves have to be acted with sensitivity and due considerations. I am particularly impressed that the scriptwriters (one of them is the movie's male lead Vince Vaughn) had bought up the "flower" and "doing dishes" issues. These seemingly harmless stuffs have always proven to be "deadly" if not handle with care. Not going to give away anything here. Watch the movie to find out and I am sure you would go " Awww... This is so very true".
Like I had mentioned in the opening paragraph, expects no genuine comedy here. While you gag at the couple's irrationality in handling their face off, you would cry inside, as you knew, probably from your own real life experiences, that what they did would widen their differences, which lead to an inevitable, break up.
Even though such "Along came Polly" plot looks overused, there is nothing seriously wrong about this movie really. However, I thought there could have been more warm added to its conclusion. Instead, the movie signed off with a meaningless and rather directionless conversation between the leads, making it easily forgettable by the audience. What a pity.
Movie Rating: 3/5 stars
Commendable: what else in the movie does the guys look forward to other than Jennifer Aniston going all bare?
