10 Things We Should Do Before We Break Up

The gods of alphabetical Sky movie watching decided that "10 Things We Should Do Before We Break Up" should be the next film I watch. A romantic comedy(-ish) starring Christina Ricci and Hamish Linklater. Abigail (Christina Ricci) meets Benjamin (Hamish Linklater) on a blind date and despite both their acknowledgements that their relationship wouldn't work, a fact they detail at length on their first date, they spend the night together and Abigail becomes pregnant. Abigail already has two children from her first marriage and is unwilling to allow the childish and petulant Benjamin any further into her life, but eventually she relents and tries to manage their unusual backwards relationship. So, I put comedy in the opening paragraph, but I'm not sure that's really right. There are romantic elements, and there's the capacity for a few of the scenes to be charming or humorous, but it's not really a comedy. It might have been, if for a small tonal shift in the Benjamin character, but really he's just too awful to be considered a comedic character. Self-sabotaging his relationship as he bumbles through a failed life, acting as if calling himself on his behaviour is in any way comparable to dealing with it. Ricci's performance alongside him is fine, if occasionally a little unlikely that she'd tolerate some of the earlier behaviour prior to it coming to a head. Overall, it's a reasonable, if slightly dull indie drama. But there also are several bizarre scenes with Abigail's best friend that feel like coded lectures on anti-abortion themes, so much so I wondered if this was a Christian movie at one point during them.

There was no ending. The film just stopped and credits rolled. Main male character was awful. The best friends behaviour was odd. It didn't show them make up after their fight yet she was at the birth. The first 15 weeks I thought was about 8 months til she said she's 15 weeks pregnant. The film tries to glamorise abortion. There were just so many mistakes and inconsistenties.

10 things we should do before we break up is really interesting movie. I loved how this movie explore different and interesting aspects like life of single mother, divorce, friendship, relation with ex, love and of course unexpected pregnancy. Movie not just make you see whats happening, it will force you to look inside the life of not only single mother but also a broken person. Overall a fine movie.

Simply none of the situations shown are going to happen in a real world with actual people. Every single character is annoyingly stupid and make choices no one in this world would even take into account. And if all this isn't enough, the finale isn't even a finale. It makes the whole movie seem like the director couldn't take all the scenes previously scripted and had to make up the movie it with the scenes already taken. Terrible, really terrible.

This film start with a man "Benjamin" sleep with a woman "Abigail", they brushing teeth together, and the flashback of the day before scene! As turnout, this film is about Abigail unexpectedly pregnant, after she copulate with Benjamin(a guy she barely know)! And she eventually decide to break up with Benjamin, and give birth to the baby! Entire film full of boring conversation, and annoying overuse scene! Such as, overuse of the kissing scene, overuse of the hugging scene, and overuse of the brushing teeth scene! Make the film unwatchable! Barely touching scene is, Benjamin told Abigail he really want the relationship! At the end, Abigail give birth to her baby! She having family time with her baby, son and daughter! That's it! Wasting time to watch!
