The Break-Up (2006)
9/10
A moving film
18 August 2006
Frankly, I have read quite a few critics and all the negative one are the facts that it's not as funny as expected, the trailer doesn't picture the film properly, it's not a comedy apart from a few quotes. It doesn't judge the film but only what they expected of it !! I must agree, it's not a funny film, not a comedy but a true picture of a relationship, its tension, its problems, its break-ups.

I felt it was a well played movie with a great performance from Jennifer Aniston that for the first time came out of her "Rachel" character. The rest of the cast was very good and I can't see any performance failure.

The first part of the film made me film very uncomfortable as it was very realistic, so well displaying the different emotion that one is felt in a day to day couple. Maybe it's a movie made for married people... single keep away !! Brilliant movie... but not a funny one !!

9/10
Franco-French movie
15 December 2004
Great and wonderful movie. A cult movie for me, my friends, my family.. and all French speaking person I know. It is a must, but in its original French version... otherwise, better pass as it's all in the language and the twisted French culture. I Love it !! The acting is great, the script delicious and the jokes hilarious. The comedy is a little basic but so French that each French national may recognize themselves, or their neighbors. The sequel called "Les Bronzes font du ski" is even better but the initial one remain a must see of the French humor at least for the generation of the 80's. I personally watch it once a year with my wife.
