Critic Reviews
-
Dan Zak, Washington Post
Why couldn't Couples Retreat have been lighthearted and zany throughout, instead of trying to push across a message about picket-fence monogamy?
-
Trevor Johnston, Time Out
Expectations of farce are stymied by long stretches of mid-life navel gazing.
-
Keith Uhlich, Time Out New York
It's too easy to say that Peter Billingsley shot his eye out with this inept comic trifle, but...well, he shot his eye out.
-
Tom Long, Detroit News
This is one of those films, like last week's Whip It and so many others of late, that looks like it was a lot fun to make. It's just not all that much fun to watch.
-
Rick Groen, Globe and Mail
There are also scenes, the disjointed kind that wander off aimlessly in the vague hope of finding a movie, not to mention a laugh.
