The Breaker Upperers

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.

I'm european so maybe that's why i loved all the nasty humor but honestly i don't know what these people are talking about. this movie is a hidden gem. it's so freaking unique and original. the only thing i didn't like about this movie was how short it was!! it wasn't perfect but for a kiwi movie it was so much better than i expected. the acting from the two chicks was spot on. this isn't trying to win any oscars, it's just a ridiculous, hilarious movie to help you kill some time in a great way.

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.

I admit, I'm surprised it was a movie. I thought I had clicked on a TV series and was going to enjoy new break up scenarios every episode. So for me it was over too quickly and wrapped up too easily. But regardless, I had fun. I laughed, I cringed, I was entertained.
