The Break-Up Artist

Made for TV as I'm sure this was, it could have been done with half the budget. That said - how? Well, while the three stooges in this are rather funny, any of these girls would have been a much better lead! Maybe the character (ironic, because she has none) was badly written (or colored with a crayon). This I saw and felt right off. Never got better. Story is so ho hum that you need a really appealing lead. And the Jeremy/Jason London wannabe - no, no, no. I had at least mediocre hopes for this.

This is by far one of the worst movies I've seen in the last... 5 years. I was thinking that maybe a 13-year old might appreciate the plot. I really wanted to turn it off in the first 30 minutes but then I said to myself hey, it wouldn't be fair to rate it if I don't watch the whole movie. But it really is NOT worth seeing. What bothers me most is that people have given it a 5 and there are far much better movies that are rated with 4/4.5 on IMDb. I don't get it, it puzzles me. The acting was totally bad. Highly artificial and dull. There was definitely no chemistry between characters. Events succeeded fast and in a completely stupid manner. Plot unrealistic. Lack of professionalism at all levels possible. It is supposed to be a comedy but during the whole movie I didn't even smile. I yawned instead, and promised myself I wouldn't let myself waste another two hours on such movies ever again. Please, trust me on this, it isn't worth it. I guess it could have made a good parody of Hitch maybe. But it's nothing compared to Hitch. It is really stupid and full of clichés.

I think this movie is what guys who aren't perfect and are looking for their dream girl should watch. We all know of the perils of finding the girl of your dreams only to find out that she is with someone else but he is cheating on her...really the perils of love and why we don't want to fall out of love. We watch as if these two were made to be together but love loses again as the guy who has been working out for her and doing stuff to win her dream girl back gets his heart ripped out in front of him as he sits there looking at Ashley's boyfriend asks her to marry him..who do we want to win? The one with all the confidence in the world who has been trying to give it his all before he moves on

What a great idea for a solid romantic comedy: a girl, a professional dumper, dumps people for money and does not believe in love. You can guess the rest.

However, and it is a huge however, this doesn't just go with the genres' conventions it sets them back 10 years; honestly this could have been made in 1999 and you wouldn't have thought it fun then.

There is much that is fundamentally wrong here; it is full of the blandest of characters: particularly the female support, ditzy dumb blonde assistant who does a puppy impersonation when she wants attention, really? All that aside, it has some good lines on dating instructions, and if taking, molding, and changing the weak man into your weak man is your idea of romantic comedy, then go ahead: it's not offensive or offensively bad.

All in all visual wallpaper, nothing to make it sparkle: we wanted champagne and got warm flat root beer...

The break Up Artist - looks like and sounds like a bad porn movie - but sadly, without the sex, which might have made it more interesting. They may as well have used reality TV "actors" as the premise was embarrassing and as low-brow as is humanly possible. And obvious. I was so shocked by the awfulness of the look, acting and script I actually couldn't turn it off. I hoped it might improve but it got worse and worse. I hope that it was as cheap to make as it looked for the sake of everyone involved. I almost wakened my husband 3 or 4 times with my gasps of horror at this terrible ordeal. I actually made it to the final long-awaited embarrassing scene. It was done. Who pays me?
