November 5, 2009It was funny, but the ending was just kinda...blah. Not really sure what I was expecting, but it kinda just ended!

October 30, 2009Not very realistic or relatable. But slightly more relatable for couples to watch rather than singles. Beautiful scenery and beautiful people is all this really offers. It didn't make any sense how Shane's ex-wife showed up on the singles side of the island to renew their marr...( read more)

October 20, 2009Very obvious, flat, formulaic, unoriginal and old plot idea here which isn't helped by the fact it isn't actually funny either. Maybe you gotta be married I dunno but most of the jokes have been seen and done yonks ago in (at the time) amusing Chevy Chase type films hehe

October 17, 2009Joey: Are you telling me, that after 7 years of marriage, you can still get aroused by the same woman.
Dave: I do.
Despite having assembled quite the cast for a movie with a good premise, this is an overlong, not terribly funny, product placement filled excuse to have talente...( read more) -
November 21, 2009Both Byron and I had a great laugh... if there was a retreat such as this, we'd totally be there!

Couples Retreat is neither funny nor honest. The exact opposite of a retreat, it's merely exhausting. full review

Claudia Puig, USA Today
It's too bad Couples Retreat is so poorly written and conceived, given the talented cast and chemistry between Vaughn and pal Favreau. We're meant to relate to these hapless folks or laugh at their fo... full review

Amy Biancolli, Houston Chronicle
A marriage-renewal comedy with a decent cast, a few good ideas and no clear grasp on what to do with them. full review

Peter Travers, Rolling Stone
The cast got to spend a month shooting on Bora Bora. So that explains why they're in the movie. Why you'd spend good money for a ticket to watch them have all the fun and not have any fun yourself pas... full review

Couples Retreat is a pleasant, undemanding, middle-of-the-road comedy, and really, were you expecting anything else? full review

Moira MacDonald, Seattle Times
Imagine that you are listening in on the marriage-counseling sessions of the dullest couple you know. Multiply that by four, and you've got a pretty good approximation of the experience of watching Co... full review

Ty Burr, Boston Globe
Yes, there's pointed human comedy to be mined from the very real stresses of married life, but this bonehead idiots-in- paradise farce raises issues only to gloss them over. full review

Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
It contains little comedy, except for free-standing one-liners, and no suspense, except for the timing of the obligatory reconciliation. It doesn't even make you think you'd like to visit its island p... full review
