Dave and Ronnie, Jason and Cynthia, and Joey and Lucy are close. The group used to include Shane and Jennifer, but they divorced and she's gone. Jason and Cynthia announce that their marriage is in trouble, and they beg their friends (and Shane's young girlfriend) to join them on a couples' retreat, at the package rate, on a tropical island. The others reluctantly agree, planning to play while Jason and Cynthia work on their marriage with an island psychologist. To everyone's surprise, the package is inflexible: each couple must participate in the couples' exercises. Soon fault lines appear in all four relationships. What's in store for each couple?

| Kaplan vs. KaplanJeanne KaplanInstead of capitalizing on some original issues, the tired standards are glossed over and solved, but not in a funny way. |
| Reeling ReviewsLaura Clifford...may be set in Bora-Bora, but it's about as much fun as a lock down with an obsessive religious cult. |
| Seattle TimesMoira MacDonaldImagine that you are listening in on the marriage-counseling sessions of the dullest couple you know. Multiply that by four, and you've got a pretty good approximation of the experience of watching Couples Retreat. |
| Quad City Times (Davenport, IA)Linda CookTawdry and tedious, 'Couples Retreat' is a retread of the almost equally unfunny 'License to Wed.' |
| Detroit NewsTom LongThis is one of those films, like last week's Whip It and so many others of late, that looks like it was a lot fun to make. It's just not all that much fun to watch. |
| Film BlatherEugene NovikovAside from a few almost accidental Vaughn- and Bateman-isms, there is not an amusing moment in the entire 107-minute film -- and no insight, or heart, or even genuine sweetness, either. |
| FromTheBalconyBill ClarkThere's only one winner in this film, and it's Applebee's. Take my word for it and watch some Travel Channel instead. |
| Philadelphia Daily NewsGary ThompsonCouples Retreat leaves a good cast stranded without a script, although the cast isn't in much of a position to complain. |
| Entertainment WeeklyOwen GleibermanThanks to Vaughn, Favreau, and the stray sharp lines that pop out of everyone else, the film at least offers the lively sound of egos that still know how to swing. |
| jackiekcooper.comJackie K. CooperGood for some laughs and some likable characters; Vaughn and Favreau stand out while Bateman fades into the background |
