Not sure why some movie reviews websites writes a bad articles about this movie OK I know its not perfect but there is a plot and a good cast in it . Couples Retreat (2009) Producer , Actor , Director , Writer , Editor Peter Billingsley :) So its not that bad move since its watchable . My 5 rating isn't bad it means it means a GO if you like to watch it but from 4 and below its just a waste of time this might be 6 but can't give it a 6 well almost so you know why 5 is so reasonable I've seen worst and for some reason the rating is higher than expected ! Bottom line : If you are hesitating to watch this I say GO watch it and you wont regret it… Expand

When the cops and the bad guys hunting the same duo.

A simple crime-thriller involving the father-daughter duo running away from the cops and thieves. It was based on the novel of the same name, but kind of feels like another version ofWhen the cops and the bad guys hunting the same duo.

A simple crime-thriller involving the father-daughter duo running away from the cops and thieves. It was based on the novel of the same name, but kind of feels like another version of Nicola Cage's 2012 film, 'Stolen'. In this the father at any cost protects his daughter. He was actually a heist planner and when his latest bidder was murdered after successfully accomplishing the heist, he and his daughter was targeted by some unknown men. So they're on the run, but how it will solved are told in the rest of the film.

To me the film was okay, but the same old stuffs with the new cast and locations and a bit altered storyline. So nothing new in it, but somewhat entertaining. That's the point you know remade, rebooted or copied, all matters if it is boring. Anyway, I was not expecting a masterpiece. But with a concept like 'heist designer', the film was utterly wasted for running and chasing cliché stuffs. Instead, it should have had made a better film by focusing on the main character's special gift.

There were none great stunt sequences, but there were some black humours in it, since Vince Vaughn is not known as an action hero. But the character and the story suited him very well and the other side Hailee Steinfeld was not bad either. The film is not worth recommending, but if you choose it, I won't stop you as it wasn't going to hurt anybody.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. An unassuming and kind man who is a professional thief teaches his coarse and spiteful young daughter how to face the world in this "thriller" filled with charm and good spirit. Except for the thievery everything else is out of place for a film in this genre, which may be one reason for the disdain so many reviewers shower on it. Trust me. Vince Vaughn gives a performance of an unexpectedly high quality, nervous but assured at his craft but very unassured about his role as father. The business about the insurance policy is overstated in the official description. Expect to be surprised at mature good humor and a sense that despite everything there's good spirit throughout it.… Expand

Extremely simplistic, Term Life is movie with a very regular premise, a genre exercise made by the mold where nothing and no one have some kind of personality. Vince Vaugh and Hailee Steinfeld are a waste in this failure.
