What bet­ter day than a rainy day to go see an upbeat com­edy like this?

“Couple’s Retreat” is a roman­tic com­edy about four cou­ples who go on a spon­ta­neous trip to “Eden.” Eden West is a place for cou­ples look­ing to get the “spark” back into their rela­tion­ships. Eden East is the other side of the island for sin­gles look­ing to have a great time. These four cou­ples signed up for Eden West, not real­iz­ing what they were get­ting them­selves into.

As the story goes on, it shows the impor­tance of what rela­tion­ships are and how to get back into the mood of what rela­tion­ships mean, some­thing each cou­ple lost sight of a long time ago.

The sto­ry­line is great, every­one can learn some­thing from this movie. It made me think about some things as well. However, with stars like Vince Vaughn, Jon Favreau, and Jason Bateman, along with many other come­di­ans play­ing smaller roles, I thought it was going to be more of a funny com­edy than a roman­tic one.

FSU nurs­ing major, Amanda Nieman, said, “I thought the movie was good; long, but good. The only thing I didn’t expect was the fact that it was more of a roman­tic story than a funny story. It was funny, but not as funny as I expected it to be.”

I have to agree, the two and a half hour long movie was drawn out and was not as funny as expected con­sid­er­ing the num­ber of famous come­di­ans in the movie.

I did not waste my time or money with the movie, how­ever. I give the movie a sat­is­fac­tory rating.
