"Breakin' All the Rules"
Film release: May 14, 2004
MacNicol co-stars in the feature film, Breakin' All the Rules.
Plot: A romantic comedy about a man (Jamie Foxx) who, after
being dumped by his fiancée, writes a 'how to' book on breaking
up. Not wanting his male friends to suffer the same fate, he
gives them advice on dumping their mates. What ensues is a
hilarious comedy of errors.
From the DVD commentary: "This movie is a romantic comedy
but very old-fashioned in its structure, very classical and elegant,"
says MacNicol. "It's a throw-back feeling to movies of another era,
complete with mistaken identities and smart wit. That's what
drew me to this project. It was really the script."
