Based on a two-character play by Michael Cristofer (who also wrote the screenplay), Breaking Up is an odd sort of love story about a couple who aren't sure what to do about their relationship. Steve (Russell Crowe) is a photographer and Monica (Salma Hayek) is a schoolteacher. They're in love, but their emotional bond is so intense it borders on manic-depressive -- at any given moment, they're either deliriously happy with each other or so frustrated they're ready to call it off for good.

The disc features the standard extras.
Uneven action, flat acting, and a narrow plot that leaves little room for empathy.
Crowe was at the screening of the movie and I wished someone would have asked him "How could you do this movie after doing LA Confidential?"
THIS IS ONE OF MY HIGHLY FAVORED MOVIES!! LOVE THIS MOVIE!!!
