Storyline:

Dave and Ronnie, Jason and Cynthia, and Joey and Lucy are close. The group used to include Shane and Jennifer, but they divorced and she's gone. Jason and Cynthia announce that their marriage is in trouble, and they beg their friends (and Shane's young girlfriend) to join them on a couples' retreat, at the package rate, on a tropical island. The others reluctantly agree, planning to play while Jason and Cynthia work on their marriage with an island psychologist. To everyone's surprise, the package is inflexible: each couple must participate in the couples' exercises.

Review:
I read a couple of reviews about "Couples retreat" and they all wrote bad about it. But I don't think that this is a bad movie. I don't know what did they expect. "Couples retreat" is all that it was supposed to be. An easy comedy with a great cast and not so bad story. A couple of laughs, a bit of romance, great scenery was all i wanted, and that's what i got. Nothing more, nothing less.

Rating: 6.5/10
