Mindless comedy that borders on the pathetic
Couples Retreat pits the comedic talents of Vince Vaughn and a capable cast against one another.The storyline is as tired as old leather,but there are just enough witty remarks to keep this trite comedy drifting along.
A group of friends decides to go to a heavenly tropical island resort named Eden,to repair their failing marriages.Eden is everything and more - with idyllic settings,sparkling waters and some of the most gorgeous staff.
But what goes on at Eden stays in Eden - because these couples have a lot of fixing up to do.
If you're interested in mindless action,little suspense and total predictability in a holiday-season caper - then Couples Retreat is your overdose of inane,draining comedy.
