Synopsis:

After meeting each other in a baseball game, Brooke Meyers (Jennifer Aniston) and Gary Grobowski (Vince Vaughn) fall in love each other and start a romantic relationship. Gary is a tourist guide in Chicago, and he runs with his two brothers a small tourist tours company, offering tours by bus and boat. Brooke works in an art gallery. The relationship seems going well, but one day Brooke gets tired of stand Gary's immaturity and laziness. He prefers to play video games than helping her, doing dishes or cleaning the house after having a dinner, which Brooke always prepares. So, Brooke decides to break-up with Gary, but they can't get completely separate, because the flat they share belongs equally to both. So, they will split the flat in two parts, staying Gary in the living room, where he has his video console and a billiard table. Their friends advice them that the best solution will be to sell the flat and divide the money. Someone makes an offer for the flat, and in a few days they will have to leave it. However, despite everything and Brooke's firmly decision about leaving Gary, it seems that she still has feelings for him, believing that he can change and grow up. Her strategy will be hanging out with several guys in order to make Gary jealous. Nevertheless, Brooke's strategy will only get things worst, because Gary will be far of being jealous about her, becoming the whole situation a domestic war.

Opinion: First of all I just want to say I have had more fun in the bath tub. This movie was a boring and predictable. There was some minor humour but not what you would expect. And the acting from aniston was just horrible, she constantly looked like she wanted to just start kissing him and not say her lines. I really am glad I didn't pay to see it.

I knew it was gonna be a shitty movie as soon as I saw the previews! I wouldn't waste my money on that shit!

heh, last night I almost saw it. It was a choice between this and the DaVinci code, so I guess luckily the girl I went with choose Davinci.

This is the movie premiere on on of the TV channels over here this week...guess I'll give it a miss then.

[Nora Diniro]

The ending to this movie was more like a midle of a movie or a beguining of one..but it was not an ending it was a fucking waste of 3.95

Horrible!! I would have to say!!! Crap movie and that's just sad. No wonder they didn't last as a couple. I saw no chemistry between them
