Chandler Riggs as Ben holds Samantha Isler as Cassie in Breakup Season
There is a scene in H. Nelson Tracey’s Breakup Season in which the Russell family patriarch, James Urbaniak’s Kirby, is tinkering with a model train in his living room while his son and his would-be daughter-in-law argue upstairs. Beside his wife, Mia , Kirby looks like a child witnessing his parents' particularly ugly divorce in the middle of the holiday season.
✕ Remove Ads This is the first point in which Breakup Season sets itself apart from lesser movies. Instead of forcing its lead lady into a belligerent dynamic for the laughs, the movie makes her as comfortable as possible. Well, apart from Ben’s constant attempts at getting back together with her, of course. The Russells are basically the best family you could be snowed in with as a not-so-welcome guest.
✕ Remove Ads Urbaniak, arguably the film’s most prolific and well-known actor, is also a delight as Kirby Russell. He’s the dad we all wish we had. Or maybe we just wish he was the father of one of our exes. Either way, he has a sunny disposition that contrasts with the cold winter weather that surrounds him, bringing warmth into a household that should feel icy and uninviting. Furthermore, he’s the source of a lot of the humor that makes up the film.
