COUPLES RETREAT

COUPLES RETREAT NEEDS A RETREAT FROM THE RETREAT

Somebody in Entertainment Weekly, it may have been Stephen King, wrote that if the cover of the movie says "#1 Comedy in the Nation" it translates to mean, this movie is so not funny but we fooled everyone else into renting  it (because no one saw it in the theater), or something to that point. It certainly rings true with this dud. Despite have a feasibly competent cast this bromance for married men flops miserably. Vince Vaughn, his dad, Jon Favereau, Jason Bateman, Kristin Davis, Kristen Bell, and lots of others all disapppointed greatly. The only mildly interesting character was Carlos Ponce, Salvatore, the boundaryless yoga teacher who was also pleasing on the eyes. This movie was filmed in Bora Bora and is beautiful, but save the rental fee and get a travel brochure instead.
NO bite: Two pretty sights do not a good movie make. A waste of a cast and film.
