One of the best films i have seen

just watch it!

It's hard to see any effort in the film. There's no comedy to speak of, no real drama and, worst of all.

It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.

I don't know why there's some negativity on here about this movie. I LOVE IT! One of my favourite movies. I've watched it at least 50 times and the scenes still amuse and entertain me.Terrific casting, the paired actors and actresses really work well on- screen. The acting is fantastic too! I love so many of these actors. And the characters! Vince Vaughn is always interesting to watch though.I think the script is pretty well thought out, each character has a bit of background and things tie in perfectly together. I laughed in quite a few parts of this movie. Especially at Faizon Love and Vince in the drinks scene before they look for Trudy. Overall, this is a real fun, feel-good movie, very summery! 10/10 for the script, casting and acting. I'll watch this over and over again, love it!

Vince Vaughn, Jason Bateman, Malin Akerman, Jon Favreau, Faizon Love, Kristen Bell, Kristen Davis, Kali Hawk and Jean Reno star in this 2009 comedy. Bateman (Dodgeball) plays Jason, a guy who tries to fix his troubled marriage with wife, Cynthia (Bell). Jason and Cynthia invite their friends to travel with them to a resort in Bora Bora where they're forced to endure couples therapy. Vaughn (Wedding Crashers) plays Dave, Akerman (The Heartbreak Kid) plays Dave's wife, Ronnie, Favreau (Iron Man) plays Joey, Love (Friday) plays Shane, Davis (Sex and the City) plays Joey's wife, Lucy, Hawk plays Shane's girlfriend, Trudy and Reno (Mission: Impossible) plays guru, Marcel. This isn't a bad comedy with a good cast & beautiful island settings. I recommend this.

Four couples go on a retreat to a tropical island in the Caribbean to work on their marriages,, what they don't realize is that participation in therapy sessions is mandatory and not optional,, lot's of crude sexual humor and behavior abound in this one,, Vince Vaughn is his usual funny, crude lovable troublemaker always coming up with some crude or perverted joke. it seems though Hollywood has hit the limit with these kinds of movies recently,, this one is mostly re hashed from other movies I felt,, it's not gonna win any Oscars, but then again it's not bottom of barrel trash either, I guess it all depends on what you are looking for from this movie when you watch it,, for me I was looking for laughter, and sexual humor thrown in, it's middle of the road average,, no more no less.

I'm not a fan of this genre of film - but Couples Retreat never fails to bore me!It is a much higher standard of a romantic comedy, and has deeper levels than all the wash and reused story lines of most terrible films within this genre that often get high reviews undeservedly.The characters all have their share of screen time and the chemistry between the whole group works hilariously !! No one tries to steal camera time, and the cast doesn't trip over each other in an attempt to try and be the funniest, they give each other space and the interaction works so organically to the situations within the film.The length of the movie is longer than most romantic comedies as well which is not a problem, but is instead a fantastic opportunity for such a genre to actually explore the individual relationships more personally, instead of using the same old relationship issues that we usually see.I usually pick and choose which actors/actresses I preferred in this movie, but all of the cast just clicked so well for me and kept the movie interesting.A really fun movie, great to watch and watch again and again. A fantastic escape with hilarious results and down-to-earth relationship conflicts. A fresh approach to romantic comedies and a brave leap into new waters (no pun intended), and most of all - a success!Definitely worth a watch! (or three!)
