Reviews

Entertainment Weekly -
Thanks 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.

St. Louis Post-Dispatch -
In Couples Retreat, it's Favreau, not Vaughn, who is wound up, and this vacation comedy goes nowhere.
|
|
The Hollywood Reporter -
A good idea for a sophisticated comedy lurks within the latest Jon Favreau-Vince Vaughn collaboration, Couples Retreat, but the filmmakers lack the courage of their convictions. So the payoff is mixed at best.

Chicago Sun-Times -
Among the better things in the movie, I count Vaughn's well-timed and smart dialogue.

Chicago Tribune -
The results are boring boring.
