My wife and I see a lot of independent movies and in our opinion, this is one of the worst of the year. We ended up walking out about two-thirds of the way through.

Ah, kids.My primary reaction watching "Breaking Upwards" was that I'm....

Unattractive leads, a boring story and characters who all sound like they're rejects from a bad Woody Allen script combine to make this film unwatchable. The filmmakers display an incredible lack of talent from their slight plot to their casting failures to their inability to even make the film look good.

I loved this film. I'm not a big "indie" buff but I found myself pleasantly surprised.

Back when I was in high school, I showed a group of my friends Woody Allen's Annie Hall. When it was over, everyone agreed that they'd enjoyed it, but I was asked to explain why, exactly, it was such a classic/masterpiece/staple of American filmdom.

It's cute and entertaining and features some good acting, especially by the parents, but it contains some obvious flaws. First, there is no conflict development.
