Couples Retreat (2009) 8/10

Starring : Vince Vaughn, Jason Bateman, Faizon Love, Jon Favreau, Malin Akerman, Kristen Bell, Kristin Davis, John Reno
Director : Peter Billingsley
Running Time : 113 mins

When Jason (Bateman) and Cynthia (Bell) announce that they want to get a divorce, they convince their friends to go to a couples retreat to help them fix their marriage, but the other couples don’t realise that, rather than being left to enjoy the beauty of East Eden Island, they will also be forced into taking part in the islands couples counseling.

This was a surprisingly likeable movie that, in spite of its Hollywood ending, is very surprising and enjoyable. Fans of Vaughn and Favreau in their comedy team ups will definitely enjoy this movie, and even those that dislike them will find someone to empathise with in the comedy masterpiece.
