Pushed to the breaking-up point after their latest 'why can't you do this one little thing for me?' argument, Brooke calls it quits with her boyfriend Gary. What follows is a hilarious series of remedies, war tactics, overtures and undermining tricks – all encouraged by the former couple's friends and confidantes …and the occasional total stranger! When neither ex is willing to move out of their shared apartment, the only solution is to continue living as hostile roommates until one of them reaches breaking point.

**HA HA HA**
I remember watching this when it first came out on DVD. At the time, I thought the movie was just okay. However, after gaining some life experience and spending time in long-term relationships, I appreciate it much more now. If we strip away the comedy, this film teaches us about self-awareness and the importance of communication, which definitely earns it some points.
Both actors did a great job in their roles, and as a fan of both, I was impressed by their performances. If you feel like you've watched every movie under the sun and you haven't seen this one yet, definitely give it a go.
