Movie Break: The Break-Up

Okay, someone please tell me - what part of this movie is a romantic "comedy?" I have never been so disgusted with a movie ending in my life!!!!




The movie stars Vince Vaughn and Jennifer Aniston. They play a couple who are crazy for one another, but in typical male fashion, he wants to kick back and relax and she's a little high strung and wants to know she is appreciated. Sorry guys, we are hormonal 99% of the time and we do like to know this from time to time without us having to prompt you along!

Anyway, in order to get him to realize how much he needs her, Jennifer's character breaks up with him. Only they must live together in their condo still and this presents a major problem. He's as stubborn as they come; she's possibly more stubborn, and neither is going to cave in.

So there is the basic premise to the movie. Now for the spoiler:

Don't read the next paragraph if you do not want to know how the movie ends!!!






The ending is not what I was expecting. He realizes he's screwed up. He tries to patch things up. She spurns him. Heads off on her travels. Returns. They bump into each other and go their separate ways. They end up apart. What kind of ROMANTIC comedy is this? It was depressing and the happily-ever-after never arrived! I'm feeling rather depressed at having spent money to see this stuff. If I wanted depressing, I could have flipped on the news!
