Synopsis
A once-loving Chicago couple whose
happily-ever-after quickly turned into a never-again finds their
crumbling romance complicated when both parties refuse to move out of
the pair's recently purchased condo. The Break-Up is a romantic comedy
that starts where all the others end. The future once looked promising
for thirtysomething couple Brooke (Jennifer Aniston) and Gary (Vince
Vaughn), but lately it seems like a series of increasingly petty and
intolerable squabbles have snuffed any semblance of romance in their
relationship.
Their confrontation endlessly fueled by
mean-spirited suggestions of revenge tactics from friends and family
and their stubborn refusal to budge resulting in an excruciating
stalemate, Brooke and Gary ultimately decide to spitefully stick it out
as hostile roommates until the weaker party eventually admits defeat.
As the competition to drive one another out grows increasingly intense
and outrageous, however, Brooke eventually comes to the realization
that she's not fighting for possession of the condominium as much as
she is fighting to salvage her relationship with the man she once
viewed as the love of her life.
