Thanks a lot acorns!

A bittersweet cautionary tale of mixed romantic signals, "The Break-Up" is an overlong minor key rom-com that succeeds by virtue of the subtle chemistry between its leading players.
Vince Vaughn and Jennifer Aniston give unaffected performances as a couple blinded by individual misconceptions and poor assistance from their so-called friends.
The result is an intriguing angle on modern American romance set against the hopeful streets of Chicago.
It’s a hard-won love story that shows the pitfalls of attempting to leverage love by playing the break-up card.
"The Break-Up" comes with a slap and a kiss that’s at once bracing and pleasing.
Ouch, thanks.
Rated PG-13. 106 mins.
