What’s a better way to get over a breakup than watching a film about an actual breakup that’ll even provide you with a little comic relief? The Break-Up stars Vince Vaughn and Jennifer Aniston as two exes who refuse to move out of the apartment they share. Their attempt at co-existing over the next few weeks is filled with side-splitting antics that’ll likely make you forget about your recent heartbreak.

In Forgetting Sarah Marshall, Peter (Jason Segel) ends a five-year relationship with Sarah (Kristen Bell) and immediately takes a trip to Hawaii. But life in paradise takes a turn for the awkward when he runs into his ex with her new boyfriend (Russell Brand). Yikes.

Sometimes a breakup (followed by a little bit of self-discovery) can turn you into a better person. Case in point, Legally Blonde’s own Elle Woods, who goes to Harvard Law School in an attempt to win back her ex-boyfriend to prove her worth to him. She ends up becoming a badass lawyer and leaving him behind instead.

What John Cusack film won’t help you get through a breakup? In High Fidelity, Cusack plays Rob, a record store owner who, after recently being dumped by his girlfriend, goes back through all of his past relationships in an attempt to find out what went wrong every time. It’s a wild ride that’ll remind you that relationships are literally the worst sometimes.

The only thing worse than breaking up with a guy is finding out that your ex-beau wasn’t exclusively dating you in the first place. That’s what happened to this crew of high school girls when they all found out that they were all dating the same guy, John Tucker. You could probably guess what happens next but, in case you can’t, just know that John Tucker Must Die only proves that revenge is sweet — but it's not as sweet as friendship.

When a breakup gets you down, you have to bounce back eventually. You get a few bonus points if that bounce back includes a vacation on a tropical island and a much hotter, much younger new fling.

Diane Lane stars in this 2003 film about a woman who takes a trip to Tuscany after her husband leaves her for another woman. It’s a beautiful story of self-discovery, and the fact that it’s set in the stunning town of Cortona isn’t such a bad thing either.

I definitely wouldn’t recommend setting your ex’s car on fire, but I would 100 percent recommend watching Angela Bassett do it.

The title of this Tyler Perry-directed film says it all. Sometimes you just have to let it all out, especially when life and marriage manage to screw you over. That’s what Kimberly Elise did when she starred as Helen in Diary of a Mad Black Woman. She plays a woman whose husband, following years of verbal abuse, leaves her for a younger woman. Before their divorce is finalized, Helen finds herself in the perfect position to seek revenge — but it's her realization of self-worth that makes her story beautiful.

Every woman needs a group of friends like Carrie Bradshaw, who help her get through being left at the altar. Sure, she and Big ended up getting married eventually, but you have to admit that it was way more interesting to watch her go on her honeymoon with her three best friends than it would've been the other way around.

Moving on and accepting the end of a relationship is difficult. What's equally difficult is watching a friend struggle to move on. Such is the case for Patrick (Bradley Cooper) and Tiffany (Jennifer Lawrence) in Silver Linings Playbook. After being released from a mental facility, Patrick has high hopes of reconciling his marriage with his estranged ex-wife, who has since gotten a restraining order against him. But it's his developing relationship with Tiffany that ultimately helps him move on and accept that his marriage is a thing of the past.

A good romantic comedy is the best medicine, especially right after a breakup. Start watching these ASAP.
