Couples Retreat (2009)

Couples Retreat is one of those comedy movies that had mixed reviews because of it’s “hit or miss” nature. Sometimes it’s really funny, while other times it seems to try too hard. It’s the story of 8 friends who get a discount rate on a vacation at a resort…the only catch is that it involves mandatory unconventional therapy along the way.

There are lots of jokes about male egos and stereotypes that usually fall flat, but it still makes for an ok “couple movie”, if you want to watch your boyfriend squirm while watching a semi-romantic chick flick.

It’s not the worst film ever made in the genre, but it’s still not for everyone (of course, what is?). Watch Couples Retreat as the light-hearted comedy with a message in there somewhere, that it was meant to be…and then walk away and be glad you weren’t there yourself to experience it firsthand…

Starring Vince Vaughn, Jason Bateman, Jean Reno, Jon Favreau, Faizon Love, Kristin Davis, Malin Akerman and Kristen Bell.
