the break up ( 2006 ) direct by represent peyton reed star represent vince vaughn and jennifer aniston and joey lauren adam and jon favreau and jason bateman and judy davis and and justin long mpaa rating represent pg 13 ( for sexual content and some nudity and language ) the break up be probably most famous for spark the famous relationship of jennifer aniston and vince vaughn . think about it a the mr. and mrs. smith for the couple . the only difference be that mr. and mrs. smith be a fun and entertaining movie and the break up be anything but . in fact and this be one of the least entertaining and joyless movie i have see this year . we all know how hard and awkward break ups can be . the break up analyze this with very little compromise . in fact and it put this failing couple into one of most awkward situation imaginable have them share a condo until they can sell it . the real question and though and be not how they will handle this situation but and why should we really want to see it . why do we want to see two people bicker and complain for an hour and forty or so minute . why do we want to experience all of the awkward moment that come with this scenario . the answer be that and of course and we do not want to do anything of these thing . herein lay the problem with the break up . it be a movie that we just do not want to see fill with character we do not really care about . gary grobowski ( vaughn ) and brooke meyers ( aniston ) be once a loving couple who have everything they think they need represent each other and a wonderful condo and and job that be certain to propel them to big and good thing . but and now and the relationship be over and neither of them can afford to pay for the mortgage without each other and so they be have to sell and but and until they find a buyer and they must live together . both and still bitter over the difficult break up and decide to make each other miserable by flirt with other people and invite loud friend over and quarter the condo up into different compartment and and more . but and will they realize that they really do love each other and reconcile or be this break up for good . if you have ever watch a romantic comedy and you know that the entire movie circle around you want desperately for the couple to be happy and together at the end . i do not feel that way at all about the couple in the break up . in fact and i only want them to go their separate way and to stop the annoy arguing and the backstabbing . vince vaughn character and gary and in particular and be horribly annoy whenever aniston character and brooke and be around and and and while brooke be at least likable and many of her action seem mean and reprehensible . how could anyone want these two to get together . the relationship be just bothersome and aggravate . how could the break up not work . it have a great cast and the director of down with love ( a bitter and yet hilarious romantic comedy ) and bring it on ( a hip and edgy teen comedy ) behind it . this movie seem like a sure bet and yet it just doesn not work . it isn not romantic . it isn not funny . it be awkward and the constant arguing get old very quickly . the character and themselves and be indeed very strange almost like parody of real people and but the movie take itself far too seriously to allow them to seem realistic . the two main character be not make out to be people we can really care about . gary and especially and be despicable for the majority of the movie and brooke and though the only main character with which we can sympathize and do her fair share of mean thing . on top of all of this and where be the humor . be this suppose to be a comedy . if so and then it be one of the least effective comedy of the year . on a warm note and jennifer aniston and vince vaughn give great performance and the actual break up ( and ensue argument ) be handle realistically . the only problem be represent why would anyone really want to see them . final thought represent despite good performance from the lead and the break up be an awkward and unfunny movie that fail to engage it audience . overall rating represent 4/10 ( c plus ) .
