The Breaker Upperers

This is a very goofy comedy with most of the emphasis on in-the-moment silliness and minimal on things like thematic depth or deeply thought out characterisation. But for all that it's quite enjoyable entertainment - a simple story about two friends who have an agency to help people get out of miserable relationships through various deceptions and tricks. Stars/writers/directors Madeline Sami and Jackie Van Beek have a goofy Kiwi charm to them that means that we're never particularly in danger of seeing their characters as unforgivably horrible, and it's a very friendly, home-made kinda movie that never is in danger of taking itself particularly seriously. If there's a criticism (and there is, this is a critics blog, after all), it's that it's coasting on charm rather a lot - you never really get the sense that very much at all is at stake. But it is pretty damn charming anyway.
