We Broke Up Reviews
Its talented lead actors are wasted in roles with no charisma or personality, and it can never quite decide what kind of movie it wants to be.

These two performers could have really done something interesting and fun with this, it could have been a lot more meaningful...
| Original Score: C | Jun 4, 2021
Despite moments of brilliance, We Broke Up rarely breaks the romantic comedy mold.
| May 27, 2021
a slight, fitfully enjoyable film that doesn't have much new to present about weddings, relationships, breakups, influencer culture, or any of its other subjects, and it's not as groundbreaking as Aya Cash's former show.
| Original Score: 2/2 | May 17, 2021
We Broke Up isn't a horrible film as much as it's a disappointing one.
| Original Score: C- | Apr 29, 2021
Cash and Harper are so darn likable that We Broke Up probably succeeds in places where it might not have with other actors.
| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Apr 29, 2021
We Broke Up is a breeze to watch thanks to its fully-committed leads, who go wherever the story takes them.
| Apr 29, 2021
We Broke Up may be a story about a breakup, but what it lacks in originality, it makes up for in surprisingly tender moments in the most unexpected places.
| Original Score: 6/10 | Apr 29, 2021
There are a million reasons why couples break up. If only We Broke Up had landed on one, they might have really had something here.
| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Apr 27, 2021
A relationship isn't necessarily a waste of time just because it doesn't lead to the altar, Rosenberg affectingly reminds us, just as a movie isn't necessarily a waste of time just because it doesn't seem to be leading anywhere else.
| Original Score: C+ | Apr 26, 2021
We Broke Up is not as cliché-ridden as it could have been, but it's not a particularly imaginative movie either. What makes the film worth watching are the lead actors' mostly believable and relatable performances.
| Apr 26, 2021
While there's an attempt to convey a message about relationships, We Broke Up is more focused on awkward shenanigans than in exploring its characters.
| Original Score: 2/5 | Apr 24, 2021
But it's also fair to say that We Broke Up itself doesn't really have all that much to say that fans of the genre haven't heard plenty of times before. It just goes about its familiar premise with a particularly thoughtful, well-meaning script.

Harper and Cash are ideal, and the writing and direction make this one broken affair to remember.
| Original Score: 3/4 | Apr 22, 2021
The performers are more engaging than the screenplay in this thinly sketched romantic comedy.
| Apr 21, 2021
The best thing about it is William Jackson Harper... If you're looking for something that doesn't just follow the tropes of a romantic comedy, this might just be the film for you.

This was okay -- maybe even more than that... It's just never as funny as its first joke.
| Apr 21, 2021
Rosenberg throws in some wacky sitcom-style shenanigans, but he mostly keeps the comedy low-key, opting for a more measured exploration of emotional maturation.
| Original Score: B | Apr 20, 2021
We Broke Up is nominally a comedy but doesn't manage to mine many laughs from its two mopey leads.
| Apr 19, 2021
We Broke Up was never destined to be much more substantial than what it is on the surface. And that's fine. It's a pleasant enough foible, which is the intent.
| Original Score: B- | Apr 19, 2021
