Couples Retreat

So if put to the test what can the power of Vince Vaughn do within a movie that exists for no other reason than to trick people into spending money because they see his name? Well, the answer is actually a whole lot of cash. There have been worse movies than Couples Retreat that lived and died on the strength of the star, but that doesn’t mean that this one was in anyway memorable.

Couples Retreat actually had a really strong cast if for no other reason than it had both Vince Vaughn and Jason Bateman. Those 2 always deliver even in bad movies. There could have been more Bateman here but there was a large cast so everyone had to be given their time to shine. It is always nice to see Jon Favreau act opposite of Vince and they fell back into their easy give and take. If they actually had some good material to work with I might be able to quote something here. But its been 2 months and I don't remember a damn joke from this thing.

There is not much else to say here. Every joke here was obvious and was only saved by the sheer talent of the cast. And by saved I mean I didn't ask for my money back at any point during the movie. But that on the Couples Retreat DVD cover.
