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.

very slow, boring movie. Don't waste your time.

Even though you'll think it's a comedy, it is not. It is a pretty deep, thoughtful and "shit happens" movie. There's a lot to think of after watching it

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.

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

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

Austin Chronicle

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.

Rated: 2.5/5

Audrey Fox

We Live Entertainment

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.

Battle Royale With Cheese

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

Splice Today

a slight, fitfully enjoyable film that doesn't have much new to present about weddings, relationships, breakups, influencer culture, or any of its other subjects, and it's not as groundbreaking as Aya Cash's former show.

Rated: 2/2
