Is Couples worth the Retreat?

Let's get this straight. Did I laugh, yup. Was I entertained, Yup. Did I get emotional, not really but they tried.

The movie seemed self-explanatory if you have seen the previews. A group of couples end up going to a resort for couples therapy without them really expecting the therapy part. The story line seems like it can be promising, but the problem is it takes you on a roller coaster. One minute your laughing, but in the next minute things get real serious. It flip-flops more than politicians and it gets kind of annoying.

The acting is phenomenal though. I wouldn't have guessed it either. I thought they were going for the whole lets put all the apples in the basket and hope one might shine more than the others. This was not the case. They all shined like ripe ass fruit. Like see your reflection in the bitch shine. Like you might reconsider eating it and try to frame the mother fucker but you can't because it is in an odd as shape you already took off the top stem out of habit.

The set was well done. The movie was well done. There was some good lines, and not everything was spoiled by the trailer. In fact, there was a different problem with the trailer. You have to see the trailer or you will be lost in this film.

Why would I say such a thing? In the trailer it shows Jon Favreau hitting on a waitress and getting it on in the bathroom with her, and his wife played by Kristin Davis getting it on in a SUV with a guy she met at the gym. The point of that scene is to show what kind of marriage they have and the adultery that goes on. However, that part is cut out of the flick. Which is okay by me, but they expect you to know that there relationship is full of cheating anyway.

The point is that is movie is a good time, and a good date movie. If you are looking for something amazing, this isn't it. I am giving this flick a threesome out of a cherry pit (3 out of 5).

Birddogger out.
