Couples Retreat centers around couples who are past getting their happily ever afters. The film centers around 4 couples:  one married with children (Vaughn & Akerman), a married couple contemplating divorce (Bateman & Bell), a married couple who are bitter towards each other (Favreau & Davis) and a divorcee (Love) who is dating a girl young enough to be his daughter (Hawk).

Convinced to go on a holiday to an Island that caters for needs of struggling  couples. After a series of strange and odd events from activities on the Island the couples each come to a realisation of what is really holding their relationships together and how they really feel as a couple...

Any seriousness this film portrays is lost in the silliness of the relationships portrayed and the overall unrealistic idea of the couples Island and the way it works.

If you are after a laugh, something lighthearted with plenty of memorable and quotable moments then go ahead with Couples Retreat.

Recommended Audience: Girls Night, one even he will enjoy
