Lori and Doug have been together for 10 years. But when Lori reacts badly to Doug's surprise proposal just before her little sister's wedding, he dumps her. Not wanting to steal the spotlight, Doug and Lori pretend they're still together. However, raw emotions and tempting flirtations with other wedding guests make pretending a lot harder than they'd anticipated.

Critics Consensus

Despite not living up to the potential of its premise, We Broke Up more than makes up for it thanks largely to Aya Cash and William Jackson Harper's relatable performances.

We Broke Up is a breeze to watch thanks to its fully-committed leads, who go wherever the story takes them.

There are a million reasons why couples break up. If only We Broke Up had landed on one, they might have really had something here.

A relationship isn't necessarily a waste of time just because it doesn't lead to the altar, Rosenberg affectingly reminds us, just as a movie isn't necessarily a waste of time just because it doesn't seem to be leading anywhere else.

Its talented lead actors are wasted in roles with no charisma or personality, and it can never quite decide what kind of movie it wants to be.

These two performers could have really done something interesting and fun with this, it could have been a lot more meaningful...

Despite moments of brilliance, We Broke Up rarely breaks the romantic comedy mold.

Very minor romcom, without much com, but nice enough drama.

I was really looking forward to this one, but it wasn't as funny nor as poignant as I had hoped for.

Enjoyed this movie. But there needed to be more time spent on making us want them to be together. Too many sad faces. And almost nothing was explained for the initial cause of the breakup, a few more words or explaining why would have gotten me more invested in understanding. But like I said, worth watching.
