Raglan Movies at the Old School has secured another first day nationwide release and starts screening the new Kiwi comedy THE BREAKER UPPERERS from 3rd May.
Reviews are starting to come in with Bridget Jones in the Sunday Star Times giving it 4 out of 5 stars and saying, “Heartbreakingly good“.
ANIKA MOA “HILARIOUS”
KATE RODGER, TV3 “They say breaking up is hard to do, but never has it been quite this hilarious”
SXSW review (South West by South West, Austin, Texas- world premiere): “Filled with hysterically funny jokes, infectious energy and an honest story about friendship being the most important relationship. Prepare yourself for some great cameos (every New Zealander is in this movie). This marks a new addition to the New Zealand invasion of comedy.”

Got a thousand bucks and a yen to be single? Call “The Breaker Upperers,” two nihilistic New Zealand best friends and roommates who will knock at your soon-to-be ex’s door, hand them your watch, and announce you drowned. Writer-director-stars Jackie van Beek and Madeleine Sami play Jen and Mel, who committed exclusively, if platonically, to each other 15 years ago when they found out they were dating the same man. Now, both are so soured on love that their hearts have curdled, making it easy to stick fake pregnancy bellies under their shirts and shatter strangers’ lives.
Written and directed by van Beek and Sami, the film also features James Rolleston (Boy), Australian comedian Celia Pacquola (TV’s Rosehaven), Rima Te Wiata (Housebound) and Cohen Holloway (Hunt for the Wilderpeople).
Directed by Madeleine Sami (feature debut), Jackie van Beek (‘The Inland Road’)
