The Break Up: Spoiler Alert

When it comes to the upcoming Jennifer Aniston/Vince Vaughn vehicle The Break Up, American audiences and the screenwriters just, you know, want different things. A source tells the New York Post in the SPOILER ALERT below:


“The original screenplay had Jennifer and Vince’s characters breaking up at the end. So it was shot that way - but test audiences hated it. It tested really - and I mean really - badly.” So Aniston and Vaughn, who met while making the picture and subsequently fell in love, were sent back to Vaughn’s hometown of Chicago to do reshoots, costing Universal millions. “The new ending has them getting back together in the end. It should really be called The Make Up, snickered our source. “People want to see Jennifer happy after she was thrown over by Brad Pitt for Angelina Jolie,” added another insider. “And with the original ending - well, it was just too much of the same.”

Well, that’s fair. After all, movies are about escapism. If we want realism where the main character gets dumped in the end, we’ll just stay home and live our own lives.
