Despite a talented cast and some reliably pleasant interplay between Jon Favreau and Vince Vaughn, Couples Retreat leaves viewers stranded in an arid, mirthless comedy.

Why couldn't Couples Retreat have been lighthearted and zany throughout, instead of trying to push across a message about picket-fence monogamy? Oct 16, 2009 | Full Review…

Expectations of farce are stymied by long stretches of mid-life navel gazing. Oct 16, 2009 | Rating: 2/5 | Full Review…

A loo book written by Pol Pot would have more laughs than this chillingly unfunny, cynically prefabricated non-comedy. Oct 16, 2009 | Rating: 1/5 | Full Review…

It's too easy to say that Peter Billingsley shot his eye out with this inept comic trifle, but...well, he shot his eye out. Oct 14, 2009 | Rating: 1/5

The actresses are so wasted, they're even demoted to fifth, sixth, seventh and eighth billing under every one of the dudes. At least the guys aren't having fun either. Oct 14, 2009 | Rating: D | Full Review…

This is one of those films, like last week's Whip It and so many others of late, that looks like it was a lot fun to make. It's just not all that much fun to watch. Oct 9, 2009 | Rating: C- | 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…

Cheap, unfunny jokes abound in this purported comedy about trying to maintain (cough) healthy (cough, cough) normal relationships. The plot is a nightmare: stick the characters in an environment that they can't leave, then let the film go nowhere for about 90 minutes before tacking on a "but we'll all be O.K. now" ending. Vapid, pointless movie: no romance, and no comedy (though this isn't shocking in Romantic Comedies anymore), and worse, no stakes, nothing to invest in and no characters to get behind. Mailed in, from beginning to end. Don't watch this.

Funny rom com about four couples who go to a tropical island resort only to find themselves in couples therapy! Good cast.
No where as near as funny as I had hoped for considering the cast line up. A few funny moments but not enough, I ended up appreciating the beautiful scenery of Bora Bora about half way through, more than the jokes!
disapointing and not that funny..
