Entertainment Weekly - Owen Gleiberman
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 - Joe Williams
In Couples Retreat, it's Favreau, not Vaughn, who is wound up, and this vacation comedy goes nowhere.
50
The Hollywood Reporter - Kirk Honeycutt
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 - Roger Ebert
Among the better things in the movie, I count Vaughn's well-timed and smart dialogue.

Chicago Tribune - Michael Phillips
The results are boring boring.
