  Infierno en el paraíso
  

  Tan largo, inerte y aburrido que accidentalmente ensalza la vida soltera, y en realidad diseñado únicamente para que el actor Vince Vaughn y sus amigos se tomen unas vacaciones pagadas en Bora Bora a costa del dinero de Hollywood y del nuestro. ¿Tiene sentido pagar una entrada solo para verlos divertirse a ellos?

  Para fans de la risa en pareja
  

  La cinta bascula entre lo esquemático y lo previsible, tocando fondo en la competición de Guitar Hero y resurgiendo gracias al carisma del reparto y a la erupción del humor más grueso e incisivo, comandado por los terapeutas del resort, con una mención especial para ese instructor de yoga llamado Salvadore (Carlos Ponce).

  29.01#2010 Trevor Johnston escribe en Time Out:
  Egocèntriques reflexions de mitjana edat
  

  L’excusa és aconseguir que el seu vell amic (Jason Bateman) procreï amb la seva parella (Kirsten Bell, Veronica Mars), però les circumstàncies evidencien les febleses en les relacions dels protagonistes. Les expectatives de farsa es veuen bloquejades per egocèntriques reflexions de mitjana edat, i el director és incapaç d’imposar ritme o de centrar-se en les progressives complicacions que es van succeint, permetent que el divertit esquetx del professor de ioga robaplans que interpreta Carlos Ponce s’allargui excessivament.

  Entre amigos anda el juego
  

  Está claro que el tiempo ha pasado para Vaughn y Favreau: la provocación indie en la que se apoyaba "Swingers" y "Made", típica de los autores que se abren camino en Holywood, ha dado paso a la comercialidad (más o menos) de "Todo incluído."

  The good news: you’re never too ugly, as a man, to star in films. The bad: you might have to act in turkeys like this
  

  It is this vanity, this overweening self-regard, that makes "Couples Retreat" such a chore to sit through. It’s hard to feel much sympathy for men whose dissatisfaction with life stems from their conviction that they deserve even better-looking women than the knockouts they’re married to.

  Bloated and blank, Jon Favreau and Vince Vaughn have come a long way down since Swingers and Made
  

  A loo book written by Pol Pot would have more laughs than this chillingly unfunny, cynically prefabricated non-comedy, a product-placement-fest starring its co-writers, Jon Favreau and Vince Vaughn. Like their film, they look bloated and blank - it?s as if some Botox-steroid-mix has been injected into their faces, and indeed the celluloid itself.

  Bickering in Paradise: Honeymoon Is Definitely Over
  

  “Couples Retreat” is a comedy of exhaustion. I don’t mean that the four couples in question — three married and one a post-divorce May-September rebound — are suffering from conjugal fatigue. They are, but not in any interesting or revealing way. It is the comedy itself, in both concept and execution, that seems tired.

  "Couples Retreat" is one of those movies that makes moviemaking look like the luckiest job in the world
  

  "Couples Retreat" is one of those movies that makes moviemaking look like the luckiest job in the world. Those involved got to spend weeks at a Bora Bora luxury resort; all we get is this not lousy but unmemorable tropical-vacation comedy. Reuniting several frequent past collaborators, the tale of four couples at a relationship workshop in an exotic locale has a good premise, an appealing cast and some bright ideas that only fly so high due to pedestrian execution.

  07.10#2009 Kirk Honeycutt escribe en Hollywood Reporter:
  Intermittently funny tale
  

  This intermittently funny tale of four couples undergoing relationship therapy struggles hard for its occasional laughs. (...) 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.

  07.10#2009 Roger Ebert escribe en Chicago Sun Times:
  It doesn?t even make you think you?d like to visit its island paradise
  

  It contains little comedy, except for free-standing one-liners, and no suspense, except for the timing of the obligatory reconciliation. It doesn?t even make you think you?d like to visit its island paradise.

Narra la historia de cuatro parejas que van de vacaciones a un resort en una isla tropcal. Mientras una pareja está ahí para trabajar en su matrimonio, las otras están para divertirse, tomar el sol, hacer esquí acuático, descansar en el spa, etc., pero pronto descubren que la asistencia a la terapia matrimonial no es opcional, sino obligatoria.
