I squirmed in my seat and laughed at the same time. There’s nothing like seeing a guy in a neon blue speedo rythmically shove their crotch into another person’s face. So Couples Retreat turned out to be much better than I thought it would be going in. I’d heard that it was depressing but it’s actually relatively honest and more polite than you might expect. I liked the character interaction even if Jason Bateman’s character annoyed the heck out of me.
What I thought was going to be a waste of time but better than seeing a horror flick ended up being a movie I might actually see again. Call it the sleeper hit of the early fall.
