Chinese comedian Huang Bo justifies his status as a record-breaking mega-star in Breakup Buddies, a tone-deaf buddy comedy that's like 10 by way of Due Date.

This movie had a good story with many comedic scenarios garnering great laughs. The acting was commendable and build rapport with the audience. I really felt for the lead and supporting characters. It is a very enjoyable movie with a interesting and thoughtful twist at the end. Good times!

While not a quintessential example of the post-breakup recovery genre, Breakup Buddies delivers a positive message about self-healing to audiences coping with heartbreak or singlehood, largely thanks to the infectiously charismatic performances of Bo Huang and Zheng Xu. Additionally, the film serves as a splendid visual promotion for the scenic beauty of Dali.
