Forget it!

After paying to see this turkey, it became obvious why Vince Vaughn is both the writer and producer - he couldn't find anyone willing to invest his/her money. As for being the writer, most 6th graders could have done as well.... Full review
Had potential but turned out to be nothing special

A lot may be surprised at seeing 8/10, but hopefully by the end you'll understand why. Going into this movie with two friends no one was really expecting much, especially me who hates cliché romance comedy films. Maybe though that is... Full review

This is not a comedy. This is not a drama. This is a dramatic tragedy! Jon Favreau needs to move up a level and start producing movies using the scripts of the next generation of comedic writers who are just waiting... Full review

MAJOR SPOILER ALERT! WATCH OUT! I've been reading the comments and I think most people are too harsh on the movie. I went to see it with my bf and my best friend and her bf and my friend and I... Full review

ONLY A VERY, VERY, MINOR SPOILER, (NOT EVEN REALLY A SPOILER) BUT I DON'T WANT TO BE BANNED.... I have to give this a mediocre, middle of the road "5". It wasn't horrible, it wasn't that bad, it wasn't very good.... Full review

Having enjoyed Vince Vaughn and Jon Favreau in Swingers, I thought that this had a pretty decent chance of being a funny movie. No dice. This film tries to be a zany comedy and a touching drama at the same time,... 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

There are sporadic laughs throughout the almost two-hour run time of Couples Retreat, don't get me wrong.....The lack of humor for the participants is mirrored in anyone who has to witness.... ... 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..... ...
