[Couples Retreat] is all about acknowledging feelings and good sex. Do we really need a film to tell us that?

The narrative is clunking and lazy, there to get characters from A to B without any respect for coherence or us, the audience.

Couples is so formulaic, so fake and relentlessly bland, it's hard to care if any of these pairings get a divorce, drown or are eaten by sharks. It has neither the ring of truth nor the fun of fantasy.

Mindless in the worst way, Couples Retreat exists for those without a sense of imagination or realism toward love and relationships.
