Nessieldwi Very interesting film. Was caught on the premise when seeing the trailer but unsure as to what the outcome would be for the showing. As it turns out, it was a very good film.

BelSports This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

mraculeated The biggest problem with this movie is it’s a little better than you think it might be, which somehow makes it worse. As in, it takes itself a bit too seriously, which makes most of the movie feel kind of dull.

Hayleigh Joseph This is ultimately a movie about the very bad things that can happen when we don't address our unease, when we just try to brush it off, whether that's to fit in or to preserve our self-image.

joseph-kozinski I thoroughly enjoyed this light-hearted portrayal of the sometimes unnecessarily complicated relationships of several of the characters in this entertaining story. While the title may hint of an unemotional lead actor who terminates relationships at will, insights into the life of this character very convincingly convey his own sensitivities, vulnerabilities, old fashioned values and genuine interest in meeting the right girl and falling in love. The contrast of living in the "big city" while growing up in a small town and being grounded with old fashioned values is uniquely portrayed, i.e. sometimes humorously, sometimes seriously in the lead actor's interactions with family members, friends and potential future "Mrs. Right". Sprinkled with humorous lines throughout the movie, "The Breakup Artist" is a must see for those looking for an entertaining, feel good story about happy beginnings and the sometimes difficult road to getting there.

LHampton1 A refreshing addition to the romantic comedy genre, The Breakup Artist is a sweet, sweet film that just doesn't come along very often. Joe Taylor is charming as the guy who just doesn't get it and Paula Deviq is the clueless girl who just doesn't see it. Until of course they do . . . and well, you know the rest. But getting there is all the fun. The supporting cast is equally funny from the jerk Paula is engaged to, to the realtor who's trying to sell them a junior 2. Also nice turns from the actors playing the lead's father and brother. New York City is also a character and looks terrific even though it appears to have been shot on digital video. (It looks a million times better than Roger Dodger). It's a very impressive first time effort from Vincent Rubino. It would be amazing to see what he could do with a real budget.

rsirop A romantic comedy that made me laugh and cry......And I'm a man! Damn this movie for making me feel things. A very fresh take on the romantic comedy genre. You feel like the characters are your own friends by the end of the movie. But then when the credits roll, you realize that you are still a very lonely person with no friends. Seriously though, it was very refreshing to see a man in a romantic comedy that shows more than one angle of what we are thinking. The relationship between the lead character Jim and his father was warming, funny, and had much more truth in it than you normally see in a movie. I highly suggest seeing this movie. You'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll question your masculinity, you'll hit on the girl next to you, she'll turn you down, and you'll know that all things are right with the world again.

paulie210 I liked this movie not only because it's funny, but because it has the potential to be just another "chick flick" kind of romantic comedy but it's not. It definitely comes from the male point of view. However another surprise about it that it's not your typical male viewpoint, either. It's not often you see a movie about a straight guy dealing with insecurities caused by his own limitations with regard to commitment. Also, the plot's not driven by sex or substances or materialism or any thing of that sort, rather there's a good dose of some old fashioned values at the core of this movie but it's all handled in a humorous way as opposed to being preachy. In fact it occurred to me after seeing this movies that it could just have well been set in the 40's rather than today; in many respects it felt like an updated version of something that might have been made then. The story is well written for a first timer and there's some really funny moments and dialog. The key actors all do a convincing job and there's some really standout moments from the supporting players. It's hard not to come away from this movie feeling good about what you just experienced.
