Breaking Them Up

About This Movie

So, 'Breaking Them Up' is one of those light-hearted comedies that kind of skews towards a coming-of-age vibe. You’ve got Damien, a teenager who fancies himself a relationship guru, right? It’s amusing how he and his friend Erin take on the task of matchmaking at school while also trying to fix his own parents' rocky marriage. The performances are pretty charming, especially from the young leads—they bring a nice energy to the film. The pacing might feel a bit uneven at times, but it adds to the quirky atmosphere. There’s this underlying theme of understanding love and relationships, which gives it more weight than your typical teen comedy. Plus, the practical effects are refreshingly minimal, letting the story take center stage.
