Couples Retreat Audience Reviews

Ehirerapp Waste of time

Plustown A lot of perfectly good film show their cards early, establish a unique premise and let the audience explore a topic at a leisurely pace, without much in terms of surprise. this film is not one of those films.

InformationRap This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

Sameer Callahan It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.

samisspink 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!

hall895 Couples Retreat is just not funny. There's really not much more that needs to be said. If a comedy film is not funny the film is a failure. And this is one miserable failure. Eight friends, four couples, end up at a tropical couples therapy resort. Hilarity does not ensue. There is a tiny hint of promise in the opening scenes as the story sets itself up, with one of the couples badgering the rest of their friends to go on the trip. But once we get to the resort the movie completely falls apart. Over the final 90 minutes nothing funny happens. Literally nothing. Some of the failed attempts at humor are so bad they are cringe-inducing. It is uncomfortable to watch. The film is desperate for laughs, it tries anything and everything and none of it works. Absolutely excruciating. Vince Vaughn seems incredibly bored. Jon Favreau plays a character who is a thoroughly detestable boor. Favreau was actually the lead writer of this mess of a movie, why did he write himself such a miserable character? The nicest thing you can say about anyone involved in the movie is that Jason Bateman and Faizon Love are reasonably decent. The women in the movie are completely wasted, there is nothing memorable or interesting about any of their characters. The supporting cast, headed by Jean Reno, gets no laughs. Not even a chuckle. This is an absolutely painful movie to sit through. Few comedies have ever missed the mark as completely as this one.

gwnightscream 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.

Jon Butler This movie couldn't be more sloppily written so that Vince Vaughn and Jon Favreau can have a nice little vacation while making a movie. From cheap testicular cancer jokes to jokes about children pooping, this movie's got it all. And by got it all, I mean is dumb and lazy. This movie is nearly tWO HOURS LONG! That's way too long for a movie like Couples Retreat and they still have to quickly tie up every single loose end in the last ten minutes. How can a movie this long still feel this rushed? It boggles my mind.In conclusion, if you want to see Faizon Love's butt, then just google it. This movie isn't worth it.
