I heard bad review after bad review regarding this movie but a couple of my friends said, "Give a go. It's actually pretty good." So I did. And I regret that now. What starts off as a promising storyline turns into a mediocre yawner halfway through. Every actor in Couples Retreat is more talented than this movie offers. Yes, there are a couple of funny moments in the first half, but the forced second and third act leave you wondering when it's going to end not how it's going to end. And that's never a good thing.
Vince Vaughn's quick banter is good - but nothing you can't get from any one of his other films. And Jon Favreau's portrayal of an out of shape jock is lack luster at best. They made magic in Swingers but here, only yawns. Grown up humor or not, this movie sucks and I want my two hours back.
