Aniston goes on another 'break'

Stubbornness can be a rabbit hole. You take a stand to start with, and then, without realizing it, you're so far stuck in your own mess, you can't get out.\nVince Vaughn and Jennifer Aniston -- making the most out of two shallow characters -- can relate. \nAlthough she turns him down the first time, they meet at a Cubs game, the two end up dating and after an excessively long montage of pictures of the two together, the movie picks up with the two in a serious relationship, sharing a condo together. Within the first 15 minutes of the film, Brooke, frustrated that Gary can never recognize her needs, calls things off. However, the two fail to discuss their living situation, and as Brooke claims the bedroom to herself, Gary turns the living room into his domain; the two go head on as they each argue to keep the condo themselves. \nThe real-life couple lacks strong screen chemistry and even their acting fails to make it believable. The movie failed to be the romantic comedy it was advertised to be. I feel duped.\nI know that many were disappointed with the ending, but to me it was refreshing. Still, the DVD contains an alternate ending that, although some may find it more satisfying, I found it to be ridiculously stupid, and I'm glad that Reed decided against using it as the movie's actual ending, because that would have really ruined everything. The DVD also contains special features such as commentaries with Reed, Vaughn and Aniston, as well as deleted scenes, cast interviews and behind-the-scenes footage. Mostly filmed in Chicago, the scenery and set was one of the movie's best qualities.\nIt may be a non-traditional rom-com, but a touch of that realism that affects the ending would have been nice. Instead, we get a cookie cutter relationship, formed quickly in pictures and destroyed haphazardly on the movie screen.
