The Breaker Upperers

From the producers of Boy and Hunt For The Wilderpeople comes the truly hilarious comedy The Breaker Upperers. The refreshing New Zealand film is directed and written by Jackie Van Beek and Madeleine Sami, who also star in the film alongside James Rolleston, Celia Pacquola and Ana Scotney. 

After best friends, Mel and Jen find out they were being two-timed by the same guy they form a small-time business that helps unhappy lovers break up with their other halves. Bitter and keeping their cynicism alive by not getting emotionally involved with anybody else, but when they run into an old victim will having a conscience ruin their friendship.

New Zealand is churning out some quality content at the moment, especially with The Breaker Upperers. The sarcastic blunt harmless humour is pulled off perfectly. The characters are loveable and the storyline ridiculous but amazing. A must watch for a belly full of laughs. 

★★★★1/2
