Sitting in the Aisle

It's kinda like getting an e-mail from John about what movie he just saw, well, kinda, sorta.

The Break-Up (Film)

The beginning of the movie shows Gary and Brooke meeting cute and during the opening credits, a photo montage shows their budding romance. Soon after, she decides they should stop seeing each other, but both decide neither one really wants to leave their fabulous and gorgeous condo. She doesn't really want to stop seeing him and wants to teach him a lesson, of sorts. And him? I'm not sure. You see, they're playing by movie rules and in the movies, someone like her would be attracted to a schmuck like him because it says so in the script. I have no idea why the two are together in the first place nor comprehend how they've been together for so long. It very much plays like a male fantasy where someone like Jennifer Aniston could walk around naked and Gary (Vince Vaughn) can't figure out why. There are a few funny bits sprinkled here and there, but too few and far in-between.
