Really not that good

I enjoyed seeing a movie that portrayed marriage in a positive light. Other than that the movie was not very well developed. The black couple in the movie didn't fit in with the story line and was painfully stereotypical and gimicky.... Full review

I was not planning to see this movie, but after 30 or 40 minutes of Amelia I needed a change of scenery. I'm not saying it was like going to Hawaii but it was a great escape. I laughed out loud... Full review

After learning that the Black actors images were removed from the movie poster, I will burn in hell before I give another dime to racist hollywood. They are getting worse by the year with the blatant racism. I guess this year... Full review

I enjoyed this movie because of the comedy, the importance of communication in a marriage, but above all the beautiful scenery. Once again Vince Vaughn doesn't disappoint.... Full review

Life is too serious and at times you need to a few hours to enjoy life, have a few laughs from way deep down in your inner self and allow yourself not to be too critical of this truly enjoyable comedy... Full review

I was expecting a few laughs but instead there were a few yawns instead. The story starts out rather slow. Okay, it was really slow. Full of over dramatic emotional problems and not much of story. Humor was fine, but nothing... Full review

I was truly dissapointed with this film. I found it dull & vulgur. It was a surprise being the actors in it. There is a story to be told here but this should have been a movie for television. The kids... Full review

Alas, all this achieves is to make an already choppy film feel even more dislocated.....Sadly, it's not only eccentric "Couples Whisperer" Jean Reno who's operating under false pretences..... ... Full Review

is about right when it comes to dull island comedy....you have a pretty disappointing comedy.....Throw in some insipid drama from four couples who believe they would be having a better time at the single's resort across the lagoon....Couples Retreat" may make viewers wonder who the people behind this movie were mad at..... ...

This film has a good cast of adults....Consider "Couples Retreat" an only occasionally funny aberration for all of the talented people involved..... ... Full Review

The film is a pathetic attempt at escapism....John Michael Higgins, in particular, shines amongst a dull cast as a counselor with a particularly vivid personality.....Despite the offensively trite humor, audience members in my theater seemed to be having a great time.....Perhaps, for some, the film taken at face value offers a vapid delight.....to celebrate, all of your favorite actors and actresses are looking for work..... ...
