Summary	Good movie but they should have kept the original VHS cover
Content	have you seen the original VHS cover? it screams sexy! When they converted the movie to DVD they made it seem sad. just go to the VHS version and take a look. There's a shot of sexy salma lying on a bed talking on the phone in a tight top giving you come hither looks! Also a nice romantic shot of the couple. the front cover text reads When the sex is great. When the passion is intense. When the love is strong. It's time for... Breaking Up now that's sexy! The DVD on the other hand is sad, sad, melancholy. two forlorn lovers. they have that same shot on the VHS version, but it's on the back on the box, not the front cover. They completely removed all the text. Also on the disk itself they show them arguing. this is sexy Salma. I don't want to see a picture of her arguing on the disk!(there is some of that in the movie, but there is also a lot of making out!) They kept a slightly different shot of them on the inside cover, but it's not exactly the same powerful shot used on the VHS cover. Also they say something like "Rich in both comic asides and emotional fisticuffs, Crowe and Hayek are perfectly matched" matched? fisticuffs?! what happened to the sexy stuff? I have noticed they are getting rid of a lot of the sex appeal in movies that used to be acceptable and commonplace when they convert a movie to DVD now(2004). politically correct. just show their heads. They frown on showing anything too sexy now. Unlike prior to the mid 90s when it was ok to show sex appeal. But the DVD picture quality is great, so that is a fantastic improvement over VHS . Good movie.

Summary	Crud Galore
Content	Whoever counselled Russell Crowe to take on this role needs to be shot and Crowe needs to rethink keeping that person on staff. Crowe is so much better than this cheesy material. Thank God in the past few years he has been getting much more juicier and respectable roles offered to him that showcase his immense talent. As for Salma Hayek, never liked her and possibly never will. She was much too annoying for my taste and I never did get any sense of natural chemistry between her and Crowe. Perhaps they both knew what crud it was and did it only for the paycheck, not caring about even attempting to make it believeable. The actual premise could have been interesting but all the powers-that-be created was a very forgettable waste of good film.

Summary	Not a lot of story, but the scenery is great!
Content	If you love either Salma Hayek or Russell Crowe, buy this film. It didn't win any awards, because it's a "B" movie, but I've paid for and watched a lot worse. Crowe and Hayek worked hard at being a couple in love and it's fun to watch. It's almost as if they were on opposing roller coasters, one at the top while the other was at the bottom.

Summary	Not goo enough to buy
Content	I really like Russell Crowe and Salma Heyek in this movie, but it was just too boring to buy. I definately thought the ending was the best part though.........because the movie was over. If I could I woudl SO ask for my money back. Although the movies offers some steamy hallucenations, it's not worth the time and effort to watch movie. Trust me, DO NOT BUY THIS MOVIE!... Rent it from blockbuster or something.....

Summary	Wish there was no dialogue with this...
Content	Russell Crowe is yummy, but what is up with his accent? This is a movie to be enjoyed with the sound off, because the dialogue is very painful to hear.
