Couples Retreat (2009)

If you don't like this, we can't be friends.

Entertaining from beginning to end, it maintains the spirit of the franchise while establishing it's own seal with a fun cast

It is not deep, but it is fun to watch. It does have a bit more of an edge to it than other similar films.

what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

Really enjoyed watching this, excellent casting too! A must see if your in the mood for some good laughs!

Four - ish couples go on a couples therapy holiday, in order to help their friends not to get divorce. In one world the movie was okay. Now, things that I didn't like: -for a comedy, it wasn't that funny. Though I don't really enjoy the sex jokes in movies, this one had a few, yes, but the rest it was just too weak to make it funny. -the ending. Seriously? I should have expected that they would have never gone for the more in depth version, but all happy endings? And the problems solved in one night? -the big twist about the holiday was not that big -some of the acting Now, for the good parts: -it is enjoyable -the story is kind of interesting, most of the time anyway -the movie wasn't ruined because of the all star cast (which happens usually with movies having to battle too many stories with too many well known actors) -the island was beautiful So, all in all, 3 out of 10.

I honestly have to say that I enjoyed this movie. I bought it on Bluray when they had a 2 for $20.00 special. Since I owned most of them, that I already wanted to buy, I bought this, to save money. I'm not a person who buys movies they haven't seen. Especially because, up until this point, every movie I bought without seeing, I ended up hating or just average liking them, and never would have bought them anyway. This, thankfully, was not that case.This movie is a comedy centered around four couples who go to a tropical island resort for vacation. One of the couples is there to work on their marriage, the others didn't know that they have to participate in couples counselling as a requirement for staying at the resort. It is not optional. Which I don't think is really fair, but if they failed to realize that, then I can't help them. They have many ups and downs in this movie, many highs and lows. A lot of great cast help make this a very funny movie.Overall, I give this movie an 8 out of 10, which in my ratings book is: Awesome.

The movie has really an all star cast which is probably the main thing that drives people to it. I definitely got curious when I saw Vince Vaughn, Jason Bateman and Kristin Davis. The rest of cast are all very famous as well. It is a bit sad that it didn't work out to be as promising as it was.Actually the start is pretty good. When we are introduced to the characters and the situation it seems like it will be a great movie. Only the problem is that the characters stay pretty much on the same tune all movie long. And the jokes seem to be repeated over and over together with the clichés until the very predictable ending.I think one of the mistakes was to make this movie PG 13. This way all the dirty humor they attempted was too infantile, not risky enough and at the same time such young people would not be interested in such a movie, teenagers don't like to watch movies about "old people".But it is not too bad. Just don't expect too much. Just an all star cast with great actors, beautiful scenery and some lighthearted humor that is not very clever or original.
