From Product Description:
From Amazon.com:
"You are not buying some 20-year-old broad a motorcycle!" yells Vaughn's character, Dave, to Love's character, Shane, who's having an early midlife crisis. "She's a kid! Buy her a Hello Kitty book!" Turns out that all the couples in Dave and Shane's circle are having issues, and decide to take a group tropical vacation. Ah, but there's a catch: the island getaway comes with mandatory couples counseling and bonding events. Most of the film's laughs come from cringe-worthy fish-out-of-water moments, though there are some pretty great fish-in-water moments, too: Dave begins to panic during a test involving swimming with sharks. "It's time to get the gun, and shoot some fish!"
Reno is also a standout, as the unctuous New Age-y director of the retreat, fearless in spewing half-nonsense yet having the almost admirable courage to stand behind his convictions. The film was directed with a light hand by Peter Billingsley, who starred as young Ralphie in A Christmas Story, and who has acted with Vaughn in Four Christmases and The Break-Up. And somehow, among the lunacy and the beauty of nature, friends and soulmates may just find the way back to each other. Just steer clear of the Jet Skis. --A.T. Hurley

I haven't seen it yet I bought it for a gift they gave it 5 stars now I to have see it
a COUPLE of factS with no RETREAT
The ratings for this movie are way too low, that is really far off in this case. I'm glad I believed the people who praised it. Vince Vaughn is quickly winning me over to his movies. He has such a natural delivery when he cracks off with a funny line. In the movie he would make analogies to things presently happening to other more bizarre things we all know about, but only he would think up these funny comparisons. He made the whole movie, but the rest of the cast was right on also, everyone seemed good at their role. It has been said this movie isn't a comedy, but the truth is, it's more than a comedy, it's humor mixed in perfectly to keep you off guard, you never see the laughs coming. I'm sure glad I decided to buy this movie. It's a lot better than it's present rating, that's for sure!
Save Your Money and Time
It is very rare when I start a movie and turn it off prior to finishing it - this is one of the exceptions. Very bad acting and not much of a story line, I lasted about 20 minutes or so. I would highly recommend you save your money and not waste your time with this one.
watch it if you don't have anything better to do, but it will be precious time lost!
You can glimpse the plot of the movie from the title, it is exactly what it says, only completely lame with over-the-hill actors getting richer while wasting our money! I wonder why some people think empty acting can be funny. What happened to smart jokes, even silly jokes that will leave you breathless? Having Vince Vaughn in this movie is a total insult to him; another example how having funny people in a stupid movie doesn't make it funnier!
