David Walsh

One feels a little frightened for Anniston's character on occasion. The misogynistic tone of the script is palpable.

Richard Crouse

This is a perfect date movie if you plan on dumping the person you're with when the movie is over.

So, pick a side, any side. We all know that breaking up is hard to do. You can at least do it with laughter with The Break Up.

was mostly shocked by Vince Vaughan, who showed me for the first time that he wasn't the long-delayed immature frat boy he so often plays, but actually an imperfect hilarious, yet often silly, character who's main flaw is his selfishness.

The Break-Up is a funny and light comedy, but it tries to be something a bit more without being something a bit more, hampered by shoddy characterization, ending up a bit empty.

Common Sense Says

Mean-spirited comedy pushes edge for teens.

What Parents Need to Know

Parents need to know the movie is premised on ugly, angry fighting between exes still sharing a condo, with several scenes that show real pain. Brooke has her pubic area waxed and parades the result in front of her ex (you see her naked back and legs; other body parts are obscured by objects in frame); in turn, Gary hires strippers for a poker game. Characters call each other names and cruelly make fun of each other and their families (this encompasses jokes about homosexuality, promiscuity, and violence/murder). It also features frequent uses of profanity (including at least one f-word).
