A box office hit in its home country, Breakup Buddies is a slapstick road movie fueled by a special brand of infectious cinematic ADHD. Hao Yi convinces his recently divorced buddy, Geng Hao, to take a road trip from Beijing to Dali and conquer the “thousands of women” that they will meet along the way. Needless to say, reality veers far from their fantasy. Popular Chinese director Ning Hao (Crazy Stone, No Man’s Land) works his comedic magic with a post-modern pastiche of knee-jerk humor, stylish violence, and tug-on-your-heartstrings drama.
