Couples Retreat (2009)

"It may be paradise... but it's no vacation."

Couples Retreat is a movie I recommend every couple to see for two main reasons, one the obvious it pure enetertainment but also it gives a alot of advice and tips that can be very informative.

I liked the fact of how it dealt with the very real trauma of a disintegrating relationship. Couples Retreat takes the high road by providing the audience with comic imagery and dialogue to offset the devastating and bitter arguments. This movie does an excellent job of not shying away from hiding the truth of the pain and hurt feelings these characters go through, but they tend to not over accentuate these moments for the sake of staying within the realm of comedy.

In the grand scheme of things, one can appreciate the comedy, because at the end of the day, you just want to be entertained at the movies, and watching characters yell and put each other down in a comedy, as well as other ridiculous things is not anyone's definition of a comedy

But all in all, the laughs come constantly, but at the same time there are a few scenes that make you think of your relationship and how you might be able to make it better.

Grade: B
