Also staring Morris Chestnut, Jennifer Esposito, Peter MacNicol and Gabrielle Union.

The main theme of this film is how to get the upper hand in your relationships. If you have the slightest inkling that your partner is going to break up with you, then you should do it to them before they get the chance to do it to you. In a discussion on love, the statement is made, Love does not care about honesty. It only cares about itself. That certainly is not biblical love. In the end, love is recognized as caring about another more than caring about yourself. Issues of faithfulness and honesty are addressed, but no strong positive message is given. There are several instances in which sex is implied but not shown, and Breakin All the Rule has some bad language and sexual dialog, which is the primary reason it does not get a recommendation from Preview.
