I gave this 4/10.Here's my review:  
 
 
 
THIS DATE MOVIE ISN'T GOOD TO WATCH DURING A DATE,MORE LIKE DURING A "BREAK-UP"(**/*****):


Spoilers ahead!


In an era where the Romantic Comedy genre has practically died because they're all the same thing over and over, some movies come along that try to be the opposite. Some succeed,some fail. This one...well, take a guess.

The movie is full of tone shifts. Whenever there's a dramatic scene, you feel awkward because you expect it to be funny, and whenever there's a funny scene...you get the idea. Remember when they fight in front of their friends because of Pictionary? If you listen to them you'll notice
they're having a real fight, but for some reason the funny music starts playing, and it's confusing.

The ending had a great message: Comedies(movies and TV)show us couples fighting disguised as arguing, and this one was more realistic by showing us that couples that fight that much don't just solve their problems in a short time and get ready for dinner while the audience switch from laugh track to clap. The problem is that the movie still felt like a typical rom-com, so a happy ending was expected in order to
have the right tone.

If they have had, a better overall message would've been rightfully delivered. And we would've understood why the characters were so stereotypical(every man in the movie has something wrong with him!)...assuming there is a reason.

What is this movie? A rom-com? An anti-rom-com? Both? Neither?  
Grades: D in the U.S. and 4,0 in Chile.

The problem is that they didn't show that until the end,when we were already used to that,so it felt like a slap in the face.
That, and they used the same formula of "anyone from the Frat Pack must be shown as an immature man-child" yet again.

Jenifer Aniston was horrific. Who did she win the People's choice awar- OOPS! I forgot it was the people's choice awards. They're even more lambasted than the Goldon Globs!]]> Mon, 10 Sep 2007 08:33:42 +0000 http://www.razzies.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1037&PID=13353#13353 THE BREAK-UP : "Anti-Romantic"...And UN-Funny?!?! http://www.razzies.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1037&PID=12838#12838 Author: dipitlow555

I didn't think this was terrible. It was pretty funny and sad at the same time (and I don't mean to watch). But I thought Ann-Margret should have been in it more.]]> Thu, 02 Aug 2007 06:29:03 +0000 http://www.razzies.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1037&PID=12838#12838 THE BREAK-UP : "Anti-Romantic"...And UN-Funny?!?! http://www.razzies.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1037&PID=10166#10166 Author: sportsartist24

Furthermore, there have been so many comedians that are acting like they still live with their parents. Yeah, I still am, but I can actually do everything to take care of myself. I think maybe these people of Hollywood should try and get themselves together. Oh, and I brought over the same picture from the two other forums to describe all of that.

Ya hear that, Will, Vince, and Owen!

Updating news: the Vince Vaughn and Jennifer Aniston romance is NO more. Vaughn and Aniston have announced they are breaking up. How bout that? First, they did this film called THE BREAK-UP, now, like six months later, they're breaking up for real.]]> Sun, 10 Dec 2006 16:04:08 +0000 http://www.razzies.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1037&PID=9953#9953 THE BREAK-UP : Box Office for THE BREAK-UP http://www.razzies.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1466&PID=9736#9736 Author: HeadRAZZBerry

Considering no one actually liked it, BREAK-UP made tons of money. How much? Here's a LINK to the B.ZO. MoJo page for it... ]]> Mon, 20 Nov 2006 05:09:02 +0000 http://www.razzies.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1466&PID=9736#9736 THE BREAK-UP : "Anti-Romantic"...And UN-Funny?!?! http://www.razzies.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1037&PID=9325#9325 Author: sportsartist24

With the movie already out on DVD, the film made less than I expected. It just reached up to $118 Million at the U.S. B.O. but not a lot Worldwide. I guess not a lot of audiences enjoyed the romance of Vince Vaughn and Jennifer Aniston.]]> Tue, 17 Oct 2006 04:35:50 +0000 http://www.razzies.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1037&PID=9325#9325 THE BREAK-UP : "Anti-Romantic"...And UN-Funny?!?! http://www.razzies.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1037&PID=7236#7236 Author: saturnwatcher

I second the nomination. I've seen more chemistry in 5th grade productions of Romeo and Juliet than Vaughn and Aniston had in this movie.
