The Break-Up
(USA, 2006, 106 minutes)
Shortly after moving in on a shared flat, an art gallerist breaks up with her loutish tour guide boyfriend, but neither wants to give up the house. Unusual romantic comedy that starts where most genre entries never go but never really takes off because, despite earnest performances, you never see why the leads would want to move in together in the first place; the supporting cast keeps it afloat, but you never get enough of it.
Universal Pictures presents a Wild West Picture Show production. Starring Vince Vaughn, Jennifer Aniston, Joey Lauren Adams, Ann-Margret, Jason Bateman, Judy Davis, Vincent d'Onofrio, Jon Favreau, Cole Hauser, John Michael Higgins, Justin Long. Directed by Peyton Reed; produced by Vince Vaughn and Scott Stuber; screenplay by Jeremy Garelick and Jay Lavender, from a story by Vince Vaughn, Garelick and Lavender; music by Jon Brion; director of photography, Eric Edwards; production designer, Andrew Laws; costume designer, Carol Oditz; film editors, David Rosenbloom and Dan Lebental.
