Break-Up Box Office Sales

So let me get this straight…if it failed, it’s Aniston’s fault and if it succeeds, it’s because of Vince. riiiiiiiightttt (rolls eyes).63 percent also said that after hoping for a laugh, it was Aniston’s name that made them buy tickets, and 62 percent said it was Vaughn which pulled them in. http://www.eonline.com/News/Items/0,1,19186,00.html?fdnewsNice try, haters. Sooooo sad. Go back to jacking off to Beyond Borders. That movie made like 2 cents at the box office. As do most of Jolie’s films.

My Fellow Bamz FansYa’all don’t need to do this…Everybody and their mother knows this movie isn’t JA’s **** except the JenJen fans. We have MORE to celebrate than these sad souls, Ya’all let them have the moment in peace. You know come next week they’ll be back in the state of acute depression when the movie sinks like a rock in water. Ya’all come on, let’s get outta here before they infect us with their bad luck.

^ WOW. Thanks for proving how much of a loser BAMZ fans are. Soooooooooo sad. Actually hoping that Jennifer Aniston, a woman who did nothing wrong other than divorce someone, failed in her career? Get help. Please.

I saw the B/Up (with a date). And we both "get" what the reviewer who wrote the following meant:"The Break-Up" and "High Fidelity" are the only two romantic comedies of the past 10 or so years that "get it." And by "it," I mean they actually have a higher romantic I.Q. than your average lovesick third grader fumbling through the pathetic prose on his Power Ranger valentine."Great date movie. Glad I saw it.

No–it’s comments like this one written by a review of the movie that best explain why Aniston Fans like this movie: "The Break-Up" and "High Fidelity" are the only two romantic comedies of the past 10 or so years that "get it." And by "it," I mean they actually have a higher romantic I.Q. than your average lovesick third grader fumbling through the pathetic prose on his Power Ranger valentine."

Fans of Vince Vaughn’s rapid-fire comic delivery might find a few laughs in the very early going of this so-called "anti-romantic comedy." But after sitting all the way through The Break-Up, fans of Vaughn and co-star Jennifer Aniston might be harder to find. This unlikable film does neither many favors.Vaughn bludgeons what remains of the charm from his aging frat-boy act by forcing us to imagine what it might be like to actually live with him 20 years, 25 pounds and zero maturity after college graduation. He so clearly doesn’t deserve to be in any kind of relationship with Anniston’s pleasant (if vacant) character that she loses likeability points for not seeing through his shtick in the first place.It’s not that their arguments don’t ring true. Anyone who’s ever been in a relationship will recognize the familiar accusations, counterattacks, hurtful comments, attempts to get even, and resulting regret. In fact, that’s the problem. The spatting in The Break-Up settles for re-creating pedestrian domestic squabbling instead of making it outrageous enough to laugh at or making it revealing enough to move us. All we’re left with is sitting on the sidelines with the couple’s friends thinking, "These people need to grow up already."And to be fair, the film does suggest that the breakup forces both to take stock of themselves and change for the better. For me, it also exposes the flaw in the relationship philosophy that suggests it’s wiser to live together before getting married. Some might surmise that the story of The Break-Up confirms the need to avoid the marriage commitment until you see how things will go in a condo. As rational as that sounds, the point is missed. The commitment and self-sacrifice of marriage is designed to hold two selfish people together as they learn to be less selfish people. It’s not, of course, that married people don’t go through seasons of fighting like the couple in this film; it’s that the deep commitment of biblical marriage forces them back to self-sacrifice, forgiveness and finding new ways to reconnect. We’re meant to to grow together through the storms of growing up instead of growing up through the storms of repeated failed relationships. Marriage is always hard work. Living together first doesn’t make it easier. It just makes it easier to get out.Come to think of it, though, getting out isn’t a bad idea if you find yourself in the vicinity of The Break-Up. Why commit yourself to 90 coarse (and slow) minutes of watching this couple’s relationship grind to a painful stop?

In addition to early success with The Break Up )(well deserved JEN & VINCE), VV’s last movie just won 3 MTV awards. Jen traded up and from those papz pics from Wrigley last week, looks like Vince is happy she did. Both Vince and Jennifer look happy in these photos too. So friends, lovers, whatever they are, they appear to have been good for each other.

SAW THE MOVE AND I WOULD SEE IT AGAIN>The Break-Up (2006)movie review by Jeffrey Westhoff, Northwest Herald (Crystal Lake, IL) The Break-Up is more like Annie Hall told with Chicago attitude and work ethic.Halfway into the big fight that signals the breakup in "The Break-Up," we realize the movie is more than we bargained for.The advertising and the personalities of Vince Vaughn and Jennifer Aniston have conditioned us to expect a wackiness. And we laugh when the fateful argument begins. "Why would I want to do the dishes?" Vaughn yells. "Nobody wants to do the dishes." Yup, ha ha ha. He’s got her there.Before the fight ends, however, we realize we’re listening to a painfully realistic argument between lovers now fed up with each other. Give Vaughn and Aniston Southern accents %u2013 and perhaps a crutch %u2013 and this could be a scene from Tennessee Williams."The Break-Up" is a comedy, but not in the mold of "The Wedding Crashers," Vaughn’s big hit from last summer. "The Break-Up" is more like "Annie Hall" told with Chicago attitude and work ethic. Beer bellies and sarcasm define the characters rather than preening intellectualism and dry wit, but the subject is what drives people apart when they think they belong together.Brooke (Aniston) should have expected trouble from fast-talking Gary (Vaughn). He picked her up at Wrigley Field while she was on date. Yet two years of apparent bliss follow before Brooke explodes at him. She has spent the evening preparing a meal for their families and instead of helping her clean, Gary flops on the couch to play "Grand Theft Auto."They no longer want to see each other, but they share a condo and neither wants to give it up. So Gary and Brooke remain antagonistic roommates, scouting tactics to annoy or humiliate the other.Vaughn and Aniston have terrific chemistry as friends and foes, and they supposedly became an off-screen couple during filming

Hey, sounds like a few of the BAMZ-fans visiting here might need a flashback to a few reviews of M/M Smith:… "Mr. & Mrs. Smith" proves a very long haul indeed. The sheer weight and volume of mayhem toward the end is numbing and meaningless, and two hours is a good 25 minutes more than such a frail conceit can sustain." From a review in Variety.

Ohmigosh. That’s pretty funny. I saw both and I would see the break up again. Seeing Mr. and Mrs. Smith was just curiosity on my part, which seemed to be the reason for most of the audience. Everybody I know personally who saw it basically agrees that MRand MS was mostly drivel.

Let Aniston & Vaughn Fans have there weekend. Geez JA has beendrowned in so much pity , bad reviews and self martyring that she deserves to celebrate making half of what Shiloh Pitts pacifier cost! Look, this might be the ONLY day in the sun of movie making that JA has. Congrat JA & VV.!!

# 69 | LOL at F&B |You have been drinking way to much today celebrating!!! Let’s not make ourselves look like utter idiots.

Okay , I am a VV fan and I went to see the movie as did most of the people at the movie theathre because of him and no the chin. that being said, which one of you who thought it was such a GREAT movie wants to give me my money back. The movie sucked.
