Couples Retreat (2009)

This could have been a very funny movie; & it did have the cast, the situations and the characters to make a very funny movie...but, it disappoints. I could count the times I smiled, on my thumbs. It was a forced attempt to string a few jokes together alongwith two-piece bikinis. A trully wasted oppurtunity. A first it seemed like an extension to 'the Break Up(2006)' (will talk about that later). Jean Reno was the only funny bit in that movie; & I found him amusing mainly because of his accent and ponytail.

The rating is just for the locales. Tahiti... yumm!

Favourite scenes include: The Yoga scene; The massage scene... THAT'S IT.

Alternate Ending: This one needs a lot of alteration... but if I had to alter the last 15 mins, I would spend all of it in Eden East !! Yumm!! This one falls in the sad_but_true category of life... so the Ultra-positive ending is a bit too nauseating.

First Viewed: With friends at home in Doha.

Rating-2
