Couples Retreat
Four couples, all friends, descend on a tropical island resort. Though one husband and wife are there to work on their marriage, the others just want to enjoy some fun in the sun. They soon find, however, that paradise comes at a price: Participation in couples therapy sessions is mandatory. What started out as a cut-rate vacation turns into an examination of the common problems many face.
Critics Sentiment
Yoga session with amorous instructor Salvadore creates awkward comedy
Men split up and argue pointing out problems with each other's marriages
The film peaks with the universally praised yoga scene before crashing during the male bonding sequences that reviewers found painful and unfunny
Couples Retreat starts promisingly with Vaughn's domestic comedy before losing its way once the characters reach the tropical setting. The film peaks with a memorable yoga sequence that had audiences erupting with laughter, but struggles with uneven tone and lazy writing that culminates in a rushed, superficial ending.
