Critics Consensus: Retreat From Couples Retreat

Summary

This week at the movies brings only one wide release: Couples Retreat, starring Vince Vaughn and Kristen Bell in a comedy about a group of friends in marriage counseling in a tropical locale. What do the critics have to say? Couples Retreat contains some of the funniest actors in the business, and is set in a lush island paradise. Sounds like the recipe for a good time, right? Unfortunately, the critics say Couples Retreat is essentially a series of gags sorely in need of some over-arching comic discipline. Jason Bateman and Kristen Bell star as a couple whose relationship is in trouble, so they invite a group of married friends (including Vince Vaughn, Jon Farveau, Kristen Davis, and Malin Ackerman) to a resort for their counseling sessions -- and it turns out the whole gang is required to undergo treatment as well.

I went to go see Couples Retreat on friday and the theater was packed, everyone was laughing their asses off. It was pretty good, the yoga scene steals the show.

I'm beginning to have serious concerns regarding Vince Vaughn's inability to create a new character personality. Vaughn's characters in "Wedding Crashers" (with Owen Wilson), "Mr. & Mrs. Smith" (with Brad Pitt), "The Break-Up" (with Jennifer Aniston), "Four Christmases" last year, and now "Couple's Retreat", are essentially the same character, set in a different location and situation. Can Vince possibly play someone other than the fast-talking, agressive loud-mouth he's been playing? I beginning to doubt it.

Vince Vaughn's best film was Zoolander, in which he didn't have any lines.
