La Rupture

This comedy part just bothers me. Vince Vaughn is simply an annoying actor and he plays the same character in every comedy. A rough idiot who somehow mysteriously becomes better. Jennifer Aniston doesn't fit here either, but I simply appreciate that the film doesn't unnecessarily strive for a happy ending. (17/03/2015)

Well, that was excellent. A beautiful Jennifer Aniston and a very funny Vince Vaughn. It may be a rip-off of The War of the Roses, but what the hell, I never get tired of these partner troubles in movies and here I found myself rolling on the floor laughing countless times. Certain situations are set up and contrived perfectly and it’s missing just a little bit to get a golden rating. 80% (07/03/2018)

Why is it so hard to accept that it is neither a cheerful comedy nor a nerve-wracking drama? In life, we are not always depressed after a breakup, sometimes we are able to look back on the past with sarcasm and detachment. And it is precisely this kind of irony with a hint of sincerity that suits me for romantic films. Vince Vaughn plays exactly the kind of guy I would like to have as a friend, and in his initial roughness, he is irresistible. Furthermore, I understand the reason for the key argument ("I want you to want to help me") from both sides. On the other hand, I don't understand why Gary didn't apologize right away, because that would have been my first reaction. (09/06/2007)

I can’t figure out why I originally gave this such a high rating. The film’s plus is definitely its stellar cast. The downside is the story which seemed interesting at first, but started dragging on after a while. I got pretty bored in the last quarter. Fortunately, the filmmakers managed to avoid a typical American ending. (27/12/2017)
