Critic Reviews

Owen Gleiberman

Thanks to Vaughn, Favreau, and the stray sharp lines that pop out of everyone else, the film at least offers the lively sound of egos that still know how to swing. Read full review

David Hiltbrand

The story and the humor get progressively skimpier than an Ipanema bikini. Read full review

Kirk Honeycutt

A good idea for a sophisticated comedy lurks within the latest Jon Favreau-Vince Vaughn collaboration, Couples Retreat, but the filmmakers lack the courage of their convictions. So the payoff is mixed at best. Read full review

Andrea Gronvall

A more helpful title for this date movie would have been Couples, Retreat! Read full review

Ty Burr

Everything about Couples Retreat feels plastic, though: the jokes, the trees, the extras, the attitudes. It’s dumbed-down entertainment aimed at a dumbed-down audience - the comedy equivalent of a McMansion. Read full review

Amy Biancolli

Too bad the movie is spoiling the view. Read full review

Peter Rainer

It's the audience for this film that will require therapy. Read full review

A solid comedy that takes a little bit to get off the ground but once it does so, it's a nonstop flight to funny.

A terrific ensemble cast from the leading stars all the way down the ladder; no role is too small for a comedy injection in this film. Albeit the ending might have been a touch too every couple is back together and happy but but a strong finisher nonetheless. If you've seen the trailer and are curious, you certainly will not be disappointed. It should score in the low 60s at least on this site, this really is one of few where metacritic is way off the mark (another really clear example that readily comes to mind being "Vanilla Sky").… Expand

A pretty good movie that has its flaws but all the characters have their uniqueness that makes it really enjoyable.Give it a chance and you will be pleasantly rewarded

Run of the mill comedy, pretty cliche, but I did get some genuine laughs. Vince Vaughn is on par, playing Vince Vaughn, and his chemistry with Favreau is still there.

I had very high expectations for this move because of the comedic cast. This whole movie was very tame and felt tedious. The laughs were so far apart I had to remember if I had laughed at all during the movie. All of the interesting or amusing parts were in the trailer.

When a movie try too hard to be funny with stupid dialogue and stupid jokes then it turns into a stupid movie, at first it looks good, but then is not only tah just another boring bad comedy
