juneebuggy This was good enough for what it was. I didn't have to think too hard (at all) a decent ensemble cast, a few genuine laughs and a nice virtual vacation to Bora Bora.Pretty standard romantic comedy, following Jason Bateman & Kristen Bell who in an attempt to save their marriage invite three other couples (Jon Favreau, Kristen Davis, Faizon Love and Vince Vaughn in a nothing role) to join them at an island retreat for a week. All the couples find themselves in therapy and cracks begin to show. There are mandatory 6 am couples exercises with Jean Reno, hilarious yoga sessions, shark attacks, and escapes to the singles side for fun.Carlos Ponce (in a small but hilarious role) as the yoga instructor is a bright moment even if his character did remind me of Hank "Do you scuba?" Azaria from that hat Ben Stiller movie (Along Came Polly)Couples Retreat is mindless, harmless with fantastic scenery and about what I was expecting, so without any high expectations, no real disappointments. 9/17/16

Davis P Couples retreat is a well casted and enjoyable film. Kristen Bell was great in her role, she was funny and enjoyable in the role. Jason Bateman is good in his too, he plays his role well and really tackles it. Vince Vaughn is great here, I really enjoyed him here, I think he showed off his acting abilities well. All the other actors were good too, like I said before, well casted. The script is alright, not awesome, but it suffices. The movie is funny at times, especially with one of the male muscular sexy islanders, and how the wives react to him. The last about 45 minutes is the best of the whole movie, it has heartfelt dramatic moments, and some fun scenes with an energetic atmosphere. I thought this was pretty entertaining overall. 7/10 for couple retreat.

kai ringler 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.

thirteeninchwinch Tries to be a zany comedy and a touching drama at the same time, and fails at both. Any yoga scene in a movie is a reach at comedy and I don't even need to point out what's wrong with Sctanley with a c. I thought the funniest part was the sauna scene where Favreau and Vaughn just riffed on ridiculous sex themes like in the good old days. Otherwise, it was just a bit boring and seemed like more of an excuse for a bunch of actors to have a holiday. Throwing a movie together and making some money seemed like an afterthought, while there would have also been pay cheques coming in from guitar hero and the Bora Bora Tourism Authority. The scenery in Bore Bora was amazing though.
