Breakup Buddies is a 2014 Chinese romantic comedy (rom/com) and road film, directed by Ning Hao. It stars Huang Bo and Xu Zheng as buddies on a wild 3,000-kilometre cross-country journey from Beijing to Dali City (via Zhangjiajie).

The film premiered at the 2014 Toronto International Film Festival on September 7, 2014, and was released domestically on September 30, 2014. It grossed over $195 million to become one of the highest-grossing films in China.

Womanizer Hao Yi (Xu Zheng) takes his best friend Geng Hao (Huang Bo) on a road trip to Dali City — China's unofficial capital of one night stands — to help him recover from a devastating divorce. Years before, Kang Xiaoyu (Yuan Quan) had traversed the same route to Dali where she met her future husband.

Derek Elley of Film Business Asia gave the film a 7 out of 10, calling it "Ning Hao's maturest film so far" and praising the performances as "strong".

The film grossed ¥1.16971 billion at the Chinese box office and a total of US$195.3 million internationally.The Guardian's Phil Hoad mentioning the film as one of "a few, giant, isolated local hits".
