Pushed to the breaking-up point after their latest 'why can't you do this one little thing for me?' argument, Brooke calls it quits with her boyfriend Gary. What follows is a hilarious series of remedies, war tactics, overtures and undermining tricks – all encouraged by the former couple's friends and confidantes …and the occasional total stranger! When neither ex is willing to move out of their shared apartment, the only solution is to continue living as hostile roommates until one of them reaches breaking point.

The Break-Up
I'm not a huge fan of chick flicks, but this one was actually a good one! My husband liked it too, although he didn't get all the points that Brooke (Aniston) was trying to make in this film. What a typical guy! I think this film illustrated in a tragic and at the same time humorous way how misunderstandings can accumulate and cause a lot of trouble. I'm sure some of us could sum up our marital problems in two words after watching this film: three lemons!
