    Could Have Been So Much Funnier

    I can't believe some people have given this film 4 or 5* ratings?!!

    I was really disappointed with this film as it could have been so much funnier, especially with Vince Vaughn in it who normally provides all the humour. His co-star Jon Favreau who plays Joey seems to steal his thunder. As for funny parts in the film, I can only remember 2 particularly funny scenes. The scene with the yoga 'sex positions' instructor, and also the part with the little boy in the bathroom store, but that was it.

    To be honest I was quite bored all the way through, apart from when the yoga instructor popped up on the screen which made it a bit more interesting I suppose ;)

    A brief synopsis - A couple are heading for a divorce but before they do they want to try one last time to perhaps save their marriage by going to a couple's retreat with therapy on a beautiful island. They can only afford to go if they take out the group package, so they encourage their friends to go with them (who all have very different relationships with their partners). What their friends think will be a great holiday (and a late honeymoon in one case), turns out to be a therapy retreat that they all have to take part in (not just the couple having marriage problems) which may bring them closer together, or may have the opposite effect.

    I mean who wants to watch couples sitting with therapists talking about their marriage? (obviously some people, as they've given it 4/5*! - crazy!) I wouldn't want to watch this film again.

    Absolutely Painful

    Don't waste 2 hours of your life on this completely mediocre film!! The only thing funny about it is, just how bad the storyline is - Completely predictable

    Actress Hawk won Couples Retreat part after sticky audition

    • 18 Oct 2009

    Actress Kali Hawk still can't believe she landed a leading role in new comedy Couples Retreat - because her audition was a sticky mess. The little-known star showed up for the test chewing gum in an effort to channel the trashy young character she was hoping to portray in the movie - and when that didn't impress co-star Vince Vaughn and director Peter Billingsley, she spat the gum out and sat on it. She recalls, "I was a little bit nervous but I tried to be cool, which did not work. I was... Read more
