Couples Retreat ***1/2

'Couples Retreat' stars Vince Vaughn, Jason Bateman and several other big names and is directed by Peter Billingsley. I wasn't that excited about it, but it surprised me a little.

It's basically about four couples who go on a tropical retreat to help their various marriages. You get the different perspectives and issues that go along with being married. It makes you think on a lot of different levels about your own relationships. But then, it's a movie and I did find myself reminded that it was a little unrealistic.

Then, there were parts that were extremely unrealistic, but with a touch of truth. They encounter some funny situations, and the most extreme of those. There were lots of good laughs here. Definitely worth the time.

But, it's rated PG-13. That's a really mature 13 year old! You should definitely pre-screen.

A good watch! And watch the deleted and extended scenes here for sure. They make sense of the one thing that was inconsistent about the movie. And it's a hysterical scene I'm referring to!
