We Broke Up | Film Review
I knew nothing about this film before seeing the premise, but the premise was cute and intriguing, so I decided to watch it straight away. When Lori (Aya Cash) and Doug (William Jackson Harper) break up before Lori's sister's wedding, they decide to pretend that they're still together until the wedding is over. I thought this was going to be a cute, funny rom-com, but it wasn't what I expected, and to be honest I didn't really like it. The main couple have a lot of obvious chemistry. Even from their first moments on screen you believe that they're a couple. These characters are also really endearing and s weet, particularly Doug. It felt like the break-up was only used as a plot device. There was no reason for it, and because w e don't get to kno w the characters at the beginning of the film , the break-up felt like it came completely out of the blue. The story outside of the main couple, primarily focused on the wedding, wasn't that interesting...
