We Broke Up is a breeze to watch thanks to its fully-committed leads, who go wherever the story takes them.

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

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 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.

While "We Broke Up" is focused, lean and heartfelt, it does feel at times a bit insubstantial. It's missing the "why" at the center of this conflict, particularly with Lori, who remains an opaque character.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Apr 17, 2021

Cash and Harper have an oddly appealing chemistry. Their intimate portrayals make Lori and Doug feel sincere.

Although the relationship at the heart of We Broke Up may be messy and complicated, Rosenberg ties all of the story's elements together into a neat, bittersweet package.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Apr 16, 2021

The film's ambitions are impressive, but the characters are too thinly written to support them, despite the best efforts of the actors.

| Original Score: B- | Apr 16, 2021

Rosenberg can't stick the landing after so much mediocre clowning.

| Apr 16, 2021

"We Broke Up" catches a rom-com ripple and rides it toward sweet laughs and some authentic insights.

| Apr 16, 2021

The film is tense through scenes that might have been funny and maudlin when addressing the emotional stakes for the former couple. The overwhelming impression is that of shrillness.
