Wow, so many negative comments regarding 'Couples Retreat'. I admit it's not classic but I enjoyed it for the most part. I definitely prefer it over the likes of 'Hot Tub Time Machine'. Most of the jokes in 'Couples Retreat' work well and it didn't bore me to sleep like the aforementioned example. I also liked that they didn't use too many toilet humour. Yes, the film does drag at some point and the story is your usual, with nothing new to offer and it has a rushed ending but the comedic interaction between the actors is great.
It's quite apparent that the cast had a great time during filming. Bateman, Vaughn and Favreau have worked in a couple of movies earlier and their off screen friendship only adds to their on screen chemistry. Vaughn is pretty much a more mature version of the character he played in 'The Break Up'. Favreau's Joey too is an extension of the character he played in the same movie. Bateman's Jason has shades of Michael Bluthe (from 'Arrested Development'). Faizon Love is a funny addition to the cast. Jean Reno and Peter Serafinowicz bring some culture to the cast.
'Couples Retreat' has plenty of eye candy. The hot women, Kristin Davies, Malin Akerman and Kirsten Bell do their parts well and look hot. The setting of the couple's retreat is very seductive, like the ideal summer holiday spot.In addition, A.R. Rahman's music is great.
This is certainly not the best of the Bateman-Favreau-Vaughn collaboration (I personally preferred the 'Break-up') but it's fun for a one-time watch.
