We Forgot to Break Up follows the story of a diverse group of musicians, in the vibrant bar scene of Toronto, who come together to form a band with a mission: to ignite a musical revolution. As they channel their individual struggles and experiences into their music, 'The New Normals' create a dynamic, rock sound that transcends gender and orientation, captivating a changing world. But as they rise to fame, personal and romantic entanglements complicate their journey. 'We Forgot to Break Up' is a heartwarming and fiercely authentic story of music, love, and friendship in the indie music scene circa the early 2000s, as they strive to make their voices heard and forge an unshakable bond that transcends labels.

The film falters when it focuses on the romantic entanglements and we're never quite sure how they impinge on the band's success. The film is on firmer ground when it explores selling out as Evan entertains the possibility of going solo.
