Sometimes a film, usually branded as an ensemble cast, that has so many recognizeable faces in it movie studios attempt to market it as names only. Even if the movie isn't remotely watchable--and that's usually the case.
In Couple's Retreat we get a much better film than you'd expect from a cast that's basically a who's who of comedic and dramatic talent. It's written by best friends and fellow actors, Jon Favereau and Vince Vaughn and directed by another Favereau and Vaughn staple, Peter Billingsly. For those that don't know, Billingsly was the little boy famous for "shooting his eye out" in A Christmas Story.
The film is filled with little segments of everything from pure laughter to heart warming scenes. It's a comedy for married couples to be sure and one that pushes the envelope of PG13. It didn't best my expectations but it did meet them and if you're a Vince Vaughn fan he does some of his best comedic material here so don't miss it.
I'm giving this one a 6 out of 10. Let's hit the stats.
Language: Very little. A few innuendos.
Violence: Zero.
Sex: Quite a bit, mostly used for humorous purposes. Some brief nudity and plenty of sexual simulations.
Positive Themes: Friendship, honest love, hard work and good parenting.
Negative Themes: Divorce, cheating on your spouse, promiscuity and spousal neglect.
