Breaker Upperers - Le sfasciacoppie

Genuinely laugh out loud moments in this, but as often with comedy, the story starts to get too serious and (to be honest less interesting) which detracts from the fun value of this film.

This film tells the story of two women who break relationships for a living.

The breaking up part is quite funny, and there are plenty of jokes to keep the laughs going. The friendship part of the film is a bit slower, but it's still good. The fact that all actors and actresses are fresh faces to me is quite refreshing.

I really enjoyed this kiwi movie, mostly for the really cute and quirky humour.

The movie does have a problem with pacing and setting up the different characters, and some of the scenes are just not really believable even in the quirky context (police station strip scene - watch it and you will know... although... I'm not a kiwi, maybe it is believable...).

But anyway, if you are looking for something nice and different to fill some boredom, this is a good choice. I certainly didn't regret watching it.

I honestly find it difficult to understand why this film has so many one star reviews! I enjoyed the silly and sometimes very uncomfortable humour, and thought there was a real warmth to the film. I'm hoping to see more from the two female leads in future.

This is a beautifully made, very funny film about two women working out their sex and romantic lives in modern, multicultural Auckland. What I really like about it there is nothing mean-spirited in this film, it's very Kiwi, and the women are honest and hilarious - nothing vulgar about it. It's not an instant classic in the vein of Boy or Hunt for the Wilderpeople, but I think it will grow on me.
