Featured reviews
Average comedy with good actors, without anything special about it. You can literally tell the story of the movie just from the name or the cover. But it's still enjoyable without any special expectations.
Having enjoyed Vince Vaughn and Jon Favreau in Swingers, I thought that this had a pretty decent chance of being a funny movie.
No dice. This film tries to be a zany comedy and a touching drama at the same time, and fails at both. It starts out well, but somewhere about 20 minutes in, seems to lose its way and it never comes back.
I have seen worse movies, and there are a few funny moments. But by halfway in, I was hoping it would end soon because it was just boring.
The best thing I can say is that this movie will have you wanting to visit Bora Bora because of all the beautiful scenery. Other than that.. meh.

Couples Retreat pits the comedic talents of Vince Vaughn and a capable cast against one another. The storyline is as tired as old leather, but there are just enough witty remarks to keep this trite comedy drifting along.
A group of friends decides to go to a heavenly tropical island resort named Eden, to repair their failing marriages. Eden is everything and more - with idyllic settings, sparkling waters and some of the most gorgeous staff.
But what goes on at Eden stays in Eden - because these couples have a lot of fixing up to do.
If you're interested in mindless action, little suspense and total predictability in a holiday-season caper - then Couples Retreat is your overdose of inane, draining comedy.

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 .. .

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.
