Holiday Breakup (2016)

Good start, but then it gets ruined

Admirable film.

Fanciful, disturbing, and wildly original, it announces the arrival of a fresh, bold voice in American cinema.

At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

I Have Reviewed OVER 500 Christmas MOVIES. On all Christmas movies BEWARE OF FAKE REVIEWS & REVIEWERS. Many reviewers have only have ONE REVIEW. When it's a POSITIVE REVIEW chances are that the reviewer was involved with the production. If its a negative review then they may have a huge grudge against the film for whatever reason. I am fare about these films.I review them is to keep track of what "I have seen". Two people meet by accident on July 4th and find themselves living together very quickly. However as fast as the relationship started it also burns out just as fast. Now this being the holiday the former couple pretend to still be a couple so their holidays do not turn into a pity party.The film is not great but it is not a total waste of time. I think both of the characters are people that in real "You Could Be Friends With". The problem with the film however is that scenes are telegraphed to the audience long before it happens. The actors are all good and deliver an enjoyable product.

I just became a fan of SHAWN ROE - wow this cutie actor is a real gem, can't wait to see more films with him in them. As for the movie itself it kind of reminded me of 'Portlandia' episodes, because of the weird background music. But I didn't mind, it was enjoyable to watch until the end, and teaches a good lesson to young couples in love.

Netflix and the internet seem to think this is a flop. But, I don't see why. It's cute, sweet, well acted and a descent story. I think they could've done with more breakup sex, but the only thing I'd change is that they used that cheesy stock Romcom background track that's straight out of 2003. It makes as much sense as playing duck sounds for dramatic effect. It's not going to change anyone's life. But, if that's what you think movies should be about, you're probably also the person who thinks all books should make a profound philosophical point. It's light fiction and sometimes it's just what you want. 7/10 I'd probably watch it again.

This is an hour and twenty nine minutes of my life that I will NEVER get back! Do yourself a favor and pass this movie up. It's a complete waste of time. It's not funny, it's completely boring and stupid. It's supposed to be a romantic comedy. Key words are "supposed to be". It's a box office bore. I had to rate it something so I gave it one star but honestly I give it zero stars. I like all kinds of movies except sci-fi, but this movie honestly is a waste. I continued to watch in hopes it would pick up but it never did, just kept getting worse. Just heed my advice and run the other way when you see this movie pop up. It's just not worth it whatsoever. You're better off watching paint dry.
