Couples Retreat is a funny entertaining movie which leaves you with a mix of emotions. You will not call it a superb movie and but at the same time it is worth watching once. Starring Jason Bateman, Vince Vaughn, Kristin Davis, Jon Favreau and Kristen Bell, the movie is written by Vaughn and Favreau. The movie revolves around four couples who go to a tropical island resort for vacations.
The straight forward funny dialogues between characters makes you go rolling on the floor. Though all the characters did justice with their roles, one who stole the show was Carlos Ponce who played the role of Yoga instructor. The cinematography of Couples Retreat is what makes the movie worth watching. It is so real that you start feeling as if you are physically present in the resort and enjoying the beauty.
The first half of the movie was quite strong and second half depicted director’s inability to be on track. The movie somehow could not establish its identity after some time. It ends up with a big happy ending and that too at an unexpected moment. One thing is for sure that you will not regret going out and watching the movie as in the end it’s the smile that matters.
