A Good Retreat...

Couples Retreat (PG-13)
Directed by Peter Billingsly and Starring Vince Vaughn, Jason Bateman, John Favreau, Faizon Love, Kristin Bell, Kristin Davis, and Malin Ackerman

Directed by the star of A Christmas Story (yeah, the little blond kid), this Romantic Comedy sighs a breath of relief a midst the overflow and over saturation of filth and vulgarity in the Comedy genre these days. It certainly has a few unnecessary moments, but no where near the level one would probably expect.

Deep down, this is a story about normal people having normal problems and when three couples agree to go on a couple's retreat in support of the fourth couple thinking of divorce, they all learn a little something about their own perspective in each of their own relationships.

Vince Vaughn and the rest of the cast are perfect and work well together.  Their characters are people we know and possibly are.

Couples Retreat is funny, heart-warming, honest, and fun.

Enjoy.
