The Breaker Upperers

Just a great funny, uplifting and easy movie. it doesnt ask you for much, it lets you relax and have a good time. Dark and corky comedy at its best. Good acting, lovable characters. All the characters could have turned out to be played out so stupid or caricaturesque, but the actors do a great job. Its certainly a 'lifter upperer'

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.

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.

This has not happened in a long time: I thought this was so funny, I laughed out loud several times. Even skipped back to rewatch perfect comedic timing.

Cast was incredible! All parts, especially the posse.

Well done!

The negative reviewers watched a different movie. Obviously.

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.
