Review of Couples Retreat (2009) by Kevin S — 03 Dec 2014

A couple that is having difficulties with their marriage have their friends and their wives/girlfriend join them at an island retreat as they try to resolve the problems in their marriage. Thinking that they can have all the fun they want they discover they can only do certain things and are on a schedule and aren't having the fun they thought they were going have.

The story and acting were good enough as well as it being pretty funny in certain spots to make the movie a success but there were times were they try to hard to make you laugh and it just is not funny at all.

I was suprised to see Peter Billingsley (Ralphie from A Christmas Story) is the one who directed this which makes me respect the movie much more in a way. The movie is funny and entertaining and Jason Bateman and Vince Vaughn were at their best and provided enough laughs for the movie to be enjoyable enough.
