Thérapie de couples

I'm not sure why this has such a low rating. I watch this anytime I see it available. It's a funny and heartfelt comedy. Each couple is different and has its own challenges. That's what makes the movie interesting.

The yoga scene always makes me laugh. ALWAYS. It's just so awkward and preposterous.

I think people hate on this movie because they're expecting it to be like other Vince Vaughn and Jon Favreu films. (Probably spelled his named wrong).

People should keep in mind that those are different movies and if a writer or actor wants to make something different they can. I don't get upset when I see Jason Segel do a drama, because it's just different.

If you go into this simply wanting to laugh but not expecting the same movies as before, you will enjoy it.

I guess I went into it without a whole lot of expectation. I didn't expect to be knocked off my feet by anything meaningful or insightful. I just watched it with my wife, expected it to put a smile on my face. Which it did fine.

Basic story line with a few hilarious scenes mixed in with some funny ones and solid acting. I mean, come on, the Yoga instructor had me dying.

Went by myself. Ironic, neh? It wasn't Wedding Crashers or Dodgeball, but a mildly funny, watchable movie nonetheless. Don't go expecting Shakespeare.

Its take on modern romance is mostly positive: people have good and bad parts of them, but we can all learn to love our spouses better. Though the actors did fairly well with the material, the jokes needed more polish. A few of the best performances were from the couples' counselors and other members of the resort staff, including my favorite, "Chewbacca." The most ludicrous moment for me was the gifting of the animal spirits by Jean Reno. They were all rather unfunny until Vince Vaughan received his. He made a comment to his wife before he kisses her that was typical classic Vince.

However, the movie is a bit too lagging between its laughs to really be a great comedy, and lacked a true heart of pathos for you to really connect with any of the characters. It ends up a caricature of the couples getaway industry and our modern society.

In the film, one of the wives jumps out of her canoe to get away from her annoying husband. Ticked off, she swims to shore alone. Perhaps some fans might be tempted to do the same, and bail out of the movie.

This could easily have been a better movie. Better writing. Better cinematography. Better delivery by the cast. But as it was, I'd say it was marginally worth a matinée and the price of popcorn.

Scale of 1 to 10: 5.

Can someone please tell me what the problem is . ..

There are better films out there, however i still think this movie delivered laughs .. . Vaughn, Bateman, & Favreau did what they do best, and provided audiences with clever and witty performances. Bell, Davis and Ankerman also did a fantastic job. The scenery is beautiful and breathtaking which only complements the movie even further. Granted the story line was a little weak but what were you expecting?

This isn't a serious drama nor is it a pasionate romance . .. its a comedy! so loosen up and be prepared to watch a fun flick which measures up and delivers .. .
