Movie Review: The Break-Up
Good movie. Better than I thought it would be, actually. Generally anything with Jennifer Aniston is on my 'this is stupid, why am I wasting my time, wait, forget it, I'm not even going to bother wasting my time' list, but actually, her acting wasn't too bad in this. Vince Vaughn is way funny. There were a couple things that didn't need to be in there, but there always are (so annoying). Her family is humorous, but yeah, his would be where the inappropriateness comes from. Hm...What else can I say about it? Some things in there are just so true. Like that guys can't take hints and that girls don't know how to say things in any way other than hinting. What's with that? The annoying thing about that is that there's no way boys are going to learn to get hints, cuz they just don't think enough to analyze stuff, so we have to be the ones to change. Not fair. (That part's not in the movie. That was a side note.) But anyway, I recommend it. Actually, Broller even has it. So it must be good.posted by melilotnfosco | 6:20 PM

interesting - other people have said don't waste your time. but i tend to agree with you, so maybe i'll see it.
I've heard mixed reviews of this movie. I'm willing to see it, just haven't yet because nobody I'm with ever suggests it. But I know what you mean about Jennifer Aniston... I did like Bruce Almighty though, but I think her part could've just as easily been played by someone else. (often the case in her movies;)
I told my brother last night about your philosophy about girl- vs. boy-communicating (the hinting/non- hinting thing), and he said that non-hinting IS the more logical way of communicating... of course I argued, but I don't really think I got him to see things my way. ;)
hinting should be banned!
what?! are you or are you not a girl?? ;)
"he said that non-hinting IS the more logical way of communicating" - which would be why women can't communicate that way. but still. i blame them.
me too! :) ...although a certain boy apparently hinted about going to a movie and i didn't get it, so i suppose it goes both ways... ;)
...they just THINK they're always more logical.
My mom is a BIG hinter and it's always driven me nuts. Josh started out hinting but I told him that if he kept that up, I was going to be gone so fast!
d doesn't catch on even if i speak directly. hinting is completely worthless, but i still do it.
josh hinted and you don't? that's just so backwards.
and chelley - so did you talk with tara and i was right?
sorry, mel, i can't remember what you were right about... :(
that IS backwards, kim! ...but josh is interested in language, right? maybe it's related to that -- generally girls seem to be more into language (and hinting) than boys
It was more that Josh was trying to figure out where I was at in terms of relationships and so he was asking about a lot of guys that I used to know, it was an odd conversation because I wasn't at all expecting him to like me. When I realized that, and he was still hinting and wouldn't tell me that he liked me, then I made him talk!
ooohhh.... I think I've been in that situation before. Guys are supposedly so straight-forward, but not always when it comes to letting a girl know they like her! ;)
oh my - this is all too complicated
yes, boy-girl communication so is!
