"The Breaker Upperers"

A laugh-out-loud offbeat comedy from New Zealand. In a weird way, it reminded me a bit of Flight of the Concords, and sure enough, Jemaine has a small part in the movie. The story is about a two woman agency that helps couples break up e.i. a partner who wants out of a relationship. One of the first scenes features them breaking the news to a woman who they tell her husband has dissapeared. From there, their exploits get zanier and zanier. The two actresses, Madeleine Sami and Jackie van Been, are comedic geniuses and they play off each other wonderfully. Warning: there's some pretty raunchy language and some of the dialogue is so hard to understand, it could easily be subtitled. Especially some of the lines from the Maori's. One of the funniest movies I've seen in quite a while.
4 out of 5 stars
