The Break-Up (2006) (Toronto Sun) Updated: 2006-06-01 15:30

Introduction:
Pushed to the breaking-point after their latest, "why can't you do this one
little thing for me?" argument, art dealer Brooke calls it quits with her
boyfriend, Gary, who hosts bus tours of Chicago. What follows is a series of
remedies, war tactics, overtures and underminings suggested by the former
couple's friends, confidantes and the occasional total stranger. When neither ex
is willing to move out of the condo they used to share, the only solution is to
continue living as hostile roommates until somebody caves. But somewhere between
protesting the pool table in the living room, the dirty clothes stacked in the
kitchen cupboards and the sports played at sleep-killing volume in the middle of
the night, Brooke begins to realize that what she may be really fighting for
isn't so much the place but the person.
