"The Break-Up" comes with a slap and a kiss that's at once bracing and pleasing.

A word of caution to anyone heading off to see The Break-Up with the assumption that it is a romantic comedy: this is not a comedy movie with a serious side -- it is a serious movie with a comedic side.

Stereotypes across the board, puerile one-upmanship games, and an utter failure to explain why, indeed, these two even were together.

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.

The movie offers nothing funny, just a series of sour situations.

It's not a good sign when a movie is called The Break-Up and you can't wait for the couple to split so they'll get some relief from one another, and give the audience some relief from them.

Is anxious to be a modern "Annie Hall," but really it is just a tedious, glum, and god awful affair.

One seemingly terminal problem with the casting of Ms. Aniston and Mr. Vaughn is that neither of their careers has featured characters who excelled at one-to-one relationships with the opposite sex.

The Break-Up, a grim excuse for a romantic comedy, is basically an hour and 45 minutes spent in the company of two unpleasant people during a miserable time in their lives.

Sharp dialogue and detailed observations make it a good deal funnier than you might expect.
