A ‘girlie’ film but I loved it! I smiled at the sharp and familiar dialogue and liked it even more when it didn’t end with a cliché Hollywood ending.
Jennifer Aniston was on top form, althought her character Brooke was basically the likeable Richael from Friends. Unfortunately, Brooke’s boyfriend (played by Vince Vaughn) was even more clueless than Ross. The arguement of the lemons and dirty dishes really made me laugh as the description of the fundamental difference between men and women couldn’t have been more accurate.
It was weird to see the transformation of the cool ‘Mac’ from the Apple ads into a long-haired, over-the-top homosexual gallery receptionist - Justin Long’s performance is worth mentioning.
The Break Up is definitely my favourite Peyton Reed (director) film so far as I am not a fan of Down With Love and Bring It On.
