THE BREAK-UP

title: THE BREAK-UP
cast: Vince Vaughn, Jennifer Aniston, Judy Davis, Peter Billingsly
year: 2006
rating: *

The only thing more uncomfortable than an actual breakup is watching this movie. We get five minutes of Vince Vaughn doing his best... Vince Vaughn imitation, picking up on Jennifer Anniston at a Cubs game using that dependable wily, lovable-slob charm he's built a career on. The entire movie, about a couple that breaks up (duh!), drags like a dying elephant with nowhere to go, not even a decent burial ground.
