For a fast-paced comedy, it has the perfect amount of laugh out loud humour which is silly, but simultaneously not afraid to accept and embrace its silliness.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Aug 27, 2020

The film is slowly marred by a concatenation of cliches that turn off the fun and leave me in a state of apathy towards the characters. [Full review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 5/10 | Jul 31, 2020

The film manages to be several different comedic plots at the same time; odd couple pairing, screwball antics, quirky romance making it comedic gold that isn't present in it's Hollywood and even indie comparatives.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Feb 3, 2020

These improvisational comedy scenes often resulted in that sick second-hand embarrassment feeling you get when you watch someone you want to like succumb to stage fright.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Sep 26, 2019

Hilarious, genuinely laugh-out-loud and even funnier on repeat. LOVED it.

| Original Score: 4.5/5 | Sep 16, 2019

Having been cheated on by the same louse, Mel and Jen have a dim view of permanence. Putting theory into practice, the best mates create a two-person business dedicated to the undoing of ill-assorted couples, with speedy splits guaranteed.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Jul 7, 2019

In a time when female filmmakers are at the lowest end of industry statistics, The Breaker Upperers deserves attention on principle alone with [Jackie] van Beek and [Madeleine] Sami proving how gracefully the heavy lifting of constructing a film can be.

Laugh a minute romp about female friendship, The Breaker Upperers is witty, sharp and contains numerous dance sequences you're unlikely to ever forget

| Original Score: 9/10 | Mar 12, 2019

Outrageous buddy comedy has swearing, sex, drug use.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Feb 20, 2019

This New Zealand film had me in stitches most of the time, thanks to its hilarious co-stars Madeleine Sami and Jackie van Beck.

| Feb 19, 2019

It's a fun take on the buddy comedy, and certainly one that is unique, serving as a fun weekend watch by yourself or with your very own bestie.

| Feb 15, 2019

The Breaker Upperers' biggest downfall is that it lacks momentum and focus.

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Feb 15, 2019

A marvelously kooky, occasionally laugh-out-loud funny buddy comedy.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Feb 15, 2019

"The Breaker Upperers" adds some welcome irreverence to the homogenized mix of Netflix comedies.

| Feb 15, 2019

[D]irectors, writers and stars Jackie van Beek and Madeline Sami still give this film a wild energy that's absolutely their own, with jokes that take the audience from giggles to cackles to all-out shrieks.

| Feb 14, 2019

The script is a marvel of understated hilarity.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Feb 14, 2019

Extremely funny and surprisingly tight, with Sami and van Beek keeping their endeavor rolling along with some wackiness and dry humor.

| Original Score: B+ | Feb 14, 2019

It's crude, vulgar and slapdash, so don't go along expecting the Lubitsch touch.

| Oct 27, 2018

Most importantly of all: it's funny. Really, really funny, consistently and constantly. The pair are a wonderful double-act on screen.

| Original Score: B+ | Oct 17, 2018

If we have the good sense we will throw our money at writer-director-stars Madeleine Sami and Jackie van Beek, because they certainly have a whole lot more to say.

| Original Score: 8.4/10 | Oct 16, 2018
