Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com

Vince Vaughn and Jon Favreau team up after their '90s career-making hit, Swingers, to write and costar in Couples Retreat, a romantic comedy that's heavy on the satire, but is also knowing and wry, as Swingers is at its best. Vaughn and Favreau are joined in the top-notch cast by the always engaging Kristin Bell (whose appearance with Vaughn, in a romantic tropical setting, may remind viewers of Forgetting Sarah Marshall), Jason Bateman, Kristin Davis (Sex and the City), Faizon Love, and Jean Reno. Fans of romantic comedies, and comedies of manners, will be delighted at the snappy interaction among the actors, and the zingers delivered by the script.

"You are not buying some 20-year-old broad a motorcycle!" yells Vaughn's character, Dave, to Love's character, Shane, who's having an early midlife crisis. "She's a kid! Buy her a Hello Kitty book!" Turns out that all the couples in Dave and Shane's circle are having issues, and decide to take a group tropical vacation. Ah, but there's a catch: the island getaway comes with mandatory couples counseling and bonding events. Most of the film's laughs come from cringe-worthy fish-out-of-water moments, though there are some pretty great fish-in-water moments, too: Dave begins to panic during a test involving swimming with sharks. "It's time to get the gun, and shoot some fish!"

Reno is also a standout, as the unctuous New Age-y director of the retreat, fearless in spewing half-nonsense yet having the almost admirable courage to stand behind his convictions. The film was directed with a light hand by Peter Billingsley, who starred as young Ralphie in A Christmas Story, and who has acted with Vaughn in Four Christmases and The Break-Up. And somehow, among the lunacy and the beauty of nature, friends and soulmates may just find the way back to each other. Just steer clear of the Jet Skis. --A.T. Hurley

Product Description

Vince Vaughn leads an all-star cast in the laugh-out-loud comedy about eight friends whose vacation in paradise is one they’ll never forget. Their group-rate vacation comes at a price when they discover that participation in the resort's unconventional couples therapy activities is anything but optional. Co-starring Jason Bateman, Jon Favreau, Faizon Love, Kristin Davis, Kristen Bell and Malin Akerman, Couples Retreat is a hilarious party in paradise, loaded with laughter and fun!

4.0 out of 5 stars Coming to the defence of this film that critics rated as a "C", January 17, 2010
By Lyric (Charlotte, NC USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Couples Retreat (DVD)
I had been wanting to see this movie for a long time and finally went to see it two nights ago. After reading some of the bad reviews, the critics rating the movie a "C" and only 2 stars from [...], I was a bit skeptical. I forgot about the ratings and decided to see the movie anyway.

I laughed throughout the whole movie, as well as the audience. There were younger people (early 20's), 30's - 40's, as well as a couple who were around the age of 60 in the audience. The elderly couple was sitting in front of me and as far as I could tell, they had a blast.

Despite the reviews of the critics and some viewers, I enjoyed this movie. I don't want to give any of the movie away but it's a laid back, hilarious story of one couple needing to work on their marriage and three other couples that wind up in the middle of all the chaos. There are different struggles and adventures that happen throughout the movie. As a poster had previously stated, it shows how different men and women truly are. This film also shows real life situations and things that come up in relationships and marriages often these days. Even though it's a "funny film", there are a few aspects of the movie that had the audience "aww'ing" but then belching out with screams and laughter right after.

If you've been wanting to see this movie, are a Vince Vaughn fan, or just need a good comedy (yes men, don't worry, I'm sure you'll laugh at the movie just as much, if not more) - I would definitely recommend this film.

This is NOT recommended to watch with children in the room nor taking them to the movie theater to see it with you.

1.0 out of 5 stars The scenery is the only thing worth watching!, February 26, 2010
This review is from: Couples Retreat (DVD)
The previews looked for this movie looked ok, but I said "uh, oh" when I saw it was written & produced by Vince Vaughn and directed by Peter Billingsly "A Christmas Story. This movie just dragged. Maybe I'm too old to appreciate the humor & bad acting, I don't know. I know this review isn't very long & probably not terribly helpful, but if you're over 25, skip this one. It's just a crappy movie. The only watchable part was the South Pacific scenery. Gorgeous!

1.0 out of 5 stars Worst movie ever, what was the point, February 10, 2010
This review is from: Couples Retreat (Video On Demand)
I was looking forward to seeing this movie. I have to admit I turned it off half way through. There was practically no humor, and i could not bare to sit through another one of their therapy sessions, so i turned it off. I was watching it with my friend and he was over it in 30 minutes, i made it a little longer. Nice setting, but it looked like the island was suffering from a palm tree disease , they should not have been so yellow, south Florida had that issue back in 70's.

Nothing else to say.
