THE BREAK UP
SYNOPSIS
Vince Vaughn and Jennifer Aniston star in The
Break-Up, which starts where most romantic
comedies end: after boy and girl have met, fallen in
love, moved in to start their happily-ever-after...and
right when they wind up driving each other crazy.
Pushed to the breaking-up point after their latest
"why can't you do this one little thing for me?"
argument, art dealer Brooke (Aniston) calls it quits
with her boyfriend, Gary (Vaughn), who hosts bus
tours of Chicago. What follows is a series of
remedies, war tactics, overtures and underminings
suggested by the former couple's friends,
confidantes and the occasional total stranger.
When neither ex is willing to move out of the condo
they used to share, the only solution is to continue
living as hostile roommates until somebody caves.
But somewhere between protesting the pool table
in the living room, the dirty clothes stacked in the
kitchen cupboards and the sports played at
sleep-killing volume in the middle of night, Brooke
begins to realize that what she may be really fighting
for isn't so much the place but the person.
The Break-Up stars Vince Vaughn and Jennifer
Aniston under the direction of Peyton Reed (Bring It
On, Down with Love). The writers are Jeremy
Garelick, Jay Lavender and Vince Vaughn, who
produces. -- © Universal Pictures
