10 Things We Should Do Before We Break Up

This movie has lots of low points. It's story isn't great, the acting ranges from fine to terrible and it was obvious shot on a show string budget but it's biggest issue is the characters.

I can say I didn't like one character in this movie. The lead woman is such a push over, her best friend seems like a nightmare person, the children are awful but the worst is the lead man.

Jesus Christ this character is a disaster. He is so unlikable and I guess that's the point but then it frustrates you because the other lead forgives him for unforgivable things. He constantly blows hot and cold for no reason. He can literally say something and then the next sentence is a complete 180 of what he just said. He acts like a 18 year old when he is pushing 50. Like parts of his character could make him interesting if it was clearer how the movie felt about him. Because I felt that from the leads second meeting I would have ran for the hills.

This movie is only 1 hour and 10 minutes long which is super short and I normally like short films but I feel like an extra couple of minutes could have been used to flesh out some of the characters before getting into the main story. We are thrown in the deep end with these people without knowing anything about them. The best friend sets her up on a date and we don't even get to meet her until half way through the films. Nothing is developed.

It also took it upon its self to deal with Social issues in such a strange way. It will have people make choices about pregnancy and then have other characters scream at them that they are making wrong decisions when it is absolutely nothing to do with them, then they will quickly go back on what they have said because every character in this movie has no motivation for anything apart from the script telling them What to do.

The writer also thought giving characters one 'quirk' made up for underwriting them. The lead loves brushing her teeth...? The other lead loves surfing. I just wrote their character descriptions for you in a sentence.

So I would say don't watch it because I just ended up being Frustrated by it. It could have been cute if they had just spent a bit more time on the script.

This is a terribly depressing movie Not because of its earthiness and refusal to sugar coat But because the lead Male character is written so poorly that it's actually hard to stomach the scenes in which he is central A tired, old, 'I'm afraid of commitment but need to grow up. I want to learn how to love,' narrative that made me want to sit my daughter in front of the screen and say 'NEVER allow a grown man spouting this ugly rhetoric into your life,' it was stale and painful to endure and yet I wanted to see if the story might lift somehow beyond the anodyne. It didn't What do we learn? The mother is fine Being a single mother is fine The kids are fine There is no room for scope with such a cliche of a Male character (manchild) as a lead Nothing to learn from this movie It's an insult to evolved men and to (single) mothers Bad, bad bad movie taking us back in time instead of propelling us forward to conversations that actually matter

Undecided over this film. It's a great story line except the ending is very abrupt. When the end titles were rolling I was left asking was that it. In one way I can say it's not your typical film where everything has a happy ever after ending but it just left me wanting to know more.

I did have to force myself to watch the first 10 minutes and after that I couldn't turn it off.

It seems many negative reviews are here because viewers wanted it to be a different kind of movie. Taken for what it is my wife and I found it worthwhile. Not great but worthwhile. Probably a 6 of 10 rating.

The two main characters, each near 40, arrange to meet at a bar, he has a girlfriend, she is single with two kids, a boy and a girl about 7 and 9 respectively. They get along OK but drink too much that initial meeting and not long after she finds out she is pregnant. Much of the story is "what to do?"

To me it plays on a concept that I learned back when my wife and I started dating, you really need to give a new relationship four seasons, a year at least, to see if you are genuinely compatible. Things will happen, holidays will come and go, through the process each will discover the true other (hopefully). We dated almost 2 1/2 years and last month we celebrated our 30th anniversary. We knew what we were getting into back in 1992.

The two in this story decide to stick together after only a few weeks and predictably it causes a number of unforeseen problems. She was already a mother with a career, she had developed responsibility, he was somewhat the opposite.

We enjoyed it for the relationship issues, we watched it at home on Amazon streaming.

At no point in the movie do you feel anything for the characters, and you don't believe they feel anything for eachother. everyone is so cold towards everyone else. lines they say seem to be like someone throwing bricks on the pile, hoping they make up something resembling the wall. everything that happens happens too fast, for no reason, no one's motivation is clear, it looks like someone had cut scenes from bunch of movies, and managed to combined them into something that sort of resembles coherent story if you ignore all the grating gaps. it's sad to have talented actors waste time on nonsense such as this
