“Couples Retreat”

Couples Retreat is a movie written by Jon Favreau, directed by Peter Serafinowicz, and stars Vince Vaughn. Couples Retreat is about three friends, Dave (Vince Vaughn), Joey (Jon Favreau), and Shane (Faizon Love), who accompany their friend Jason (Jason Bateman) and his wife Cynthia (Kristen Bell) to an island resort for what seems like a terrific vacation. During the trip Dave and Joey bring their wives Ronnie (Malin Åkerman) and Lucy (Kristin Davis), while Shane brings his new girlfriend Trudy (Kali Hawk). When they arrive at the resort they soon find out that their week long vacation requires couples counseling for them while they’re there. This soon turns out to be a problem because the only couple who actually wants counseling is Jason and Cynthia. Soon however it becomes clear that Jason and Cynthia aren’t the only ones who need help with their relationship.

Couples Retreat to me is a very good movie. It has so much comedy in it; for example when Dave and Jason have to go out into the lake and feed chum to fish, but Jason panic and spills the chum all over Dave and leaves him there. Also, when all the couples have to do yoga with their overly touchy instructor, who makes both the guys and girls do uncomfortable poses and exercises. The movie was by my standards was really amazing. I don’t think I’ve ever laughed that hard at a movie that came out this year. It is really great and I encourage all to see it.
