Could Have Been So Much Funnier
A Customer from Stockport,

I can't believe some people have given this film 4 or 5* ratings?!! I was really disappointed with this film as it could have been so much funnier, especially with Vince Vaughn in it who normally provides all the humour. His co-star Jon Favreau who plays Joey seems to steal his thunder. As for funny parts in the film, I can only remember 2 particularly funny scenes. The scene with the yoga 'sex positions' instructor, and also the part with the little boy in the bathroom store, but that was it. To be honest I was quite bored all the way through, apart from when the yoga instructor popped up on the screen which made it a bit more interesting I suppose ;) A brief synopsis - A couple are heading for a divorce but before they do they want to try one last time to perhaps save their marriage by going to a couple's retreat with therapy on a beautiful island. They can only afford to go if they take out the group package, so they encourage their friends to go with them (who all have very different relationships with their partners). What their friends think will be a great holiday (and a late honeymoon in one case), turns out to be a therapy retreat that they all have to take part in (not just the couple having marriage problems) which may bring them closer together, or may have the opposite effect. I mean who wants to watch couples sitting with therapists talking about their marriage? (obviously some people, as they've given it 4/5*! - crazy!) I wouldn't want to watch this film again.
