I want to like it since it is trying to paint another section of Male 'Buddy' themes that has not been done to death but this film about two men in their own mid-life crises does not land.
Primarily, it centers about two friends. One: a newly single 'kink' painter, adjusting with his new life as his career is going upwards but alone. Another is a rich kid, who is aging out of his playboy days.
For me, it fails primarily since it just too hateful against its female character. They are mostly carnal objects or dull one dimensional characters that is used to counterpoint the titular heartbreakers. It really weakens to its wonderful viewpoint of two men finding meaning in their existence as they drew close to middle age and is about to be pushed out of their carefree lifestyle. As they try escapades that somewhat funnily closes by to homoerotism or I like to call them 'homieroticism', its becomes clear that maybe their are not as well equipped as they taught they where.
2/5 for mostly the promising premise. This needs to be remade.
