juneebuggy This was good enough for what it was. I didn't have to think too hard (at all) a decent ensemble cast, a few genuine laughs and a nice virtual vacation to Bora Bora.Pretty standard romantic comedy, following Jason Bateman & Kristen Bell who in an attempt to save their marriage invite three other couples (Jon Favreau, Kristen Davis, Faizon Love and Vince Vaughn in a nothing role) to join them at an island retreat for a week. All the couples find themselves in therapy and cracks begin to show. There are mandatory 6 am couples exercises with Jean Reno, hilarious yoga sessions, shark attacks, and escapes to the singles side for fun.Carlos Ponce (in a small but hilarious role) as the yoga instructor is a bright moment even if his character did remind me of Hank "Do you scuba?" Azaria from that hat Ben Stiller movie (Along Came Polly)Couples Retreat is mindless, harmless with fantastic scenery and about what I was expecting, so without any high expectations, no real disappointments. 9/17/16

samisspink I don't know why there's some negativity on here about this movie. I LOVE IT! One of my favourite movies. I've watched it at least 50 times and the scenes still amuse and entertain me.Terrific casting, the paired actors and actresses really work well on- screen. The acting is fantastic too! I love so many of these actors. And the characters! Vince Vaughn is always interesting to watch though.I think the script is pretty well thought out, each character has a bit of background and things tie in perfectly together. I laughed in quite a few parts of this movie. Especially at Faizon Love and Vince in the drinks scene before they look for Trudy. Overall, this is a real fun, feel-good movie, very summery! 10/10 for the script, casting and acting. I'll watch this over and over again, love it!

MattyGibbs I must admit to being a fan of Vince Vaughan. I'm pretty sure he has no pretensions of being a great actor and he always seems to play the same character but it's a likable and charming character nonetheless. This is a film for 30 something plus couples to watch and enjoy. It's not a film that will particularly appeal to a younger audience or the kind of guy that thinks the only good film has to include some kind of superhero. For the silent majority however this is a very entertaining and watchable film with plenty of laughs throughout. Yes you know how it will end but the fun is watching the characters get there. Of the people I know who watched this all have enjoyed it which makes a rating of 5.4 even more laughable. The vast majority of voters on here are men however and therefore any film not totally aimed at male testosterone is always going to be unfairly rated on here. Just note that this film made a large profit and rightly so.The cast is first rate and there are no weak performances. They all seemed to be having a good time and that shone through in their performances. This is an excellent comedy and if you like Vince Vaughan i'm pretty sure you'll like this.

thirteeninchwinch Tries to be a zany comedy and a touching drama at the same time, and fails at both. Any yoga scene in a movie is a reach at comedy and I don't even need to point out what's wrong with Sctanley with a c. I thought the funniest part was the sauna scene where Favreau and Vaughn just riffed on ridiculous sex themes like in the good old days. Otherwise, it was just a bit boring and seemed like more of an excuse for a bunch of actors to have a holiday. Throwing a movie together and making some money seemed like an afterthought, while there would have also been pay cheques coming in from guitar hero and the Bora Bora Tourism Authority. The scenery in Bore Bora was amazing though.
