    Just watching the trailer for this gem thickens my spit.

    If you assume that a trailer is the studio's way to coax you into the theater with a taste of what's to come, this movie will leave you licking your tongue like a dog who just got a mouthful of peanut butter.

    Given the lack of something truly laugh-worthy, I say they change the title to "Chuckles Retreat," so at least we can give them their props for truth in advertising.

    I am getting really sick of men producing movies in which they cast themselves opposite women they could never get in real life. Kristen Bell and Malin Ackerman would never be with these men if they were all real people. For that reason alone, I will not be seeing this one.

    @Rick N Teri Brown: Umm, Kristen Bell dates Dax Shepard, dear. This movie is a step up for her.

    @NigelAstydameia: That's why I said, "If they were all real people". Money and fame change the game. Not to mention VV looks old enough to be her dad (even though he's only 10 years older).

    What the hell, Tom Hardy? Can you please do ONE role that lets you fart around and be hot for 2 hours? Is that too much to ask?

    Wuthering Heights was promising until he got all HEATHCLIFFE-Y.

    Couples Retreat was rockin' a 10% on Rotten Tomatoes, last I checked. May make no difference in the end, but worth noting.

    When "The Big Bounce" came out with Owen Wilson, one critic wrote how it's difficult to make a great comedy in a tropical setting--something about the scenery being distracting and nobody feeling too sorry for the characters. (Plus, more than one actor has admitted taking a role because of the location over the script--"Fuck it, I get to spend a month in Bora Bora!"). Maybe it's true, considering the mildly amusing "Marshall" and even less amusing "Heartbreak." Anyone remember a truly funny tropical pic? (Other than "Finding Nemo" and "Platoon," of course.)

    @The_Age_of_Plastic: Sorry, maybe I'm the only one who didn't think "Thunder" was all that funny, but I just didn't. Also, there's a difference between "war" tropical and "vacation" tropical--let's stick to vacation.

    @NigelAstydameia: We disagree then as I found it to be hilarious and original. It also did something I thought previous impossible - made me enjoy a Tom Cruise performance (post 1996).

    Couples Retreat sounds like a cross between Forgetting Sarah Marshall and The Heartbreak Kid -- like the former, it presents good comic actors in a tropical setting; and like the latter, it prevents them from being funny.

    I really want to want to see every movie starring Kristen Bell, and I really want to think that every movie with Jason Bateman will be hilarious, but come on. I will not see Couples Retreat until I can find one person who says they saw it and didn't want to stick a coke-filled straw in their eye and swirl it around.

    Can I skip Couples Retreat since I've been subjected to the trailers about 100 times?
    I know I've been exposed to every gag.
    If I have to watch Vince Vaughn say "Is his junk out? Now, it's a party!" one more time I think I will vomit
