November 5, 2009It was funny, but the ending was just kinda...blah. Not really sure what I was expecting, but it kinda just ended!

October 30, 2009Not very realistic or relatable. But slightly more relatable for couples to watch rather than singles. Beautiful scenery and beautiful people is all this really offers. It didn't make any sense how Shane's ex-wife showed up on the singles side of the island to renew their marr...( read more)

Couples Retreat is neither funny nor honest. The exact opposite of a retreat, it's merely exhausting. full review

A marriage-renewal comedy with a decent cast, a few good ideas and no clear grasp on what to do with them. full review

Yes, there's pointed human comedy to be mined from the very real stresses of married life, but this bonehead idiots-in- paradise farce raises issues only to gloss them over. full review

Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
It contains little comedy, except for free-standing one-liners, and no suspense, except for the timing of the obligatory reconciliation. It doesn't even make you think you'd like to visit its island p... full review
