![Couples Retreat [Blu-ray]](http://cdn.hometheaterforum.com/4/44/50x50px-ZC-4438b8eb_B002ZGW92Y-51QWlOdVr4L.jpg)
"Couples Retreat" is supposedly a comedy following 4 couples to a couples retreat set in a tropical island resort setting (called Eden), and features a solid cast (Vince Vaughn, Jon Favreau, Jason Bateman, Faizon Love, Malin Ackerman, Kristen Bell, Kristin Davis, and Kali Hawk). So what could go wrong?
It might have been a little more interesting had it gone for R-rated material, but with a PG-13 cut, there just seemed to be a lot of scenes that got stopped a little too early. That being said, the film has a few laughs, but not enough to salvage a lot of boring and pointless footage that comprised of the rest of the film. The screenplay commits the cardinal sin of not building up characters and the result is a set of very underwhelming arcs and resolutions in the final act.
I give it 2 stars, or a grade of C.
