Couples Retreat

I was skeptical about renting Couples Retreat due to the less than stellar reviews, however, I was pleasantly surprised. The movies premise is about a couple who are struggling after having trouble conceiving and want to go to a couples retreat. They cannot afford it on their own so they talk three other couples in joining them to split the cost. Hilarity ensues.

First of all, Vince Vaughn and Jason Bateman are in this movie together....need i say more? Well I will just in case. Vince and Jason are both easy on the eyes and can easily tickle the funny bone with nothing more than a mere expression. They are hilarious in this movie. Not to mention the movie was written by Vaughn and Jon Favreau so you know it has to be good. Others in the movie are Kristin Bell, Kristin Davis and Malin Akerman. And here I thought that Kristin Davis was only making purses now.

So why all the terrible reviews?? My take is that people are stuck in the reality tv world now. Comedy has been forgotten. Why else would Arrested Development not have the viewers to support it's continuation on tv? Go and rent this movie and pay special attention to the couples yoga segment. HILARIOUS!!! And do yourself a favor and watch the gag reel. I love to see people get cracked up and cracked up they get! Watch it and please tell me what you think! I'm excited for you!
