The Break-Up, directed by Peyton Reed in 2006, was a hit with a $118 million gross on a $52 million budget. While the movie was full of rom-com charm, critics weren’t fans of its lack of romantic payoff, so it's not exactly a "feel-good" flick. Still, the chemistry between Jennifer Aniston and Vince Vaughn kept audiences intrigued, making it a guilty pleasure for many. It’s the kind of movie you’ll watch once but probably not twice.
