I saw Couples Retreat yesterday. I was expecting another Vince Vaughn dodgy 'comedy', which was why i took boyfriend for his birthday. Unfortunately for him (and fortunately for me), it turned out that Vince Vaughn is actually capable of semi-serious acting. The movie was surprisingly good.

It centered around four couples who were all on the brink of divorce and went to a tropical island to try and sort everything out. When it wasn't what the had expected and it turned into a week of forced therapy, they weren't happy. What ensued was a week of slowly figuring out that things aren't always easy, but with enough love and work everything can work out.

I'm a sucker for a happy ending, so this movie pleased me. Add Kirsten Davis and Kristen Bell (both of whom i love) and the sister from 27 Dresses and you have some awesome female actresses. The men were nothing to drool over though! But who cares. The island was beautiful, and i couldn't predict what would happen. It was a good movie and i really liked it. Go see it :)
