Couples is so formulaic, so fake and relentlessly bland, it's hard to care if any of these pairings get a divorce, drown or are eaten by sharks. It has neither the ring of truth nor the fun of fantasy. Oct 20, 2009 | Rating: 1/5 | Full Review…

The narrative is clunking and lazy, there to get characters from A to B without any respect for coherence or us, the audience. Aug 29, 2018 | Full Review…

Couples Retreat is a lazy, unimaginative comedy that, with the talent on show, should have been a whole lot more than another boring rom-com to throw on the pile. Apr 15, 2010 | Rating: 2/5 | Full Review…
