    Storyline

    Edit
    Dave and Ronnie, Jason and Cynthia, and Joey and Lucy are close. The group used to include Shane and Jennifer, but they divorced and she's gone. Jason and Cynthia announce that their marriage is in trouble, and they beg their friends (and Shane's young girlfriend) to join them on a couples' retreat, at the package rate, on a tropical island. The others reluctantly agree, planning to play while Jason and Cynthia work on their marriage with an island psychologist. To everyone's surprise, the package is inflexible: each couple must participate in the couples' exercises. Soon fault lines appear in all four relationships. What's in store for each couple? —<jhailey@hotmail.com>

    • Trivia
      Irina Krupnik, the model in the photo to which Joey (Jon Favreau) was preparing to pleasure himself, sued NBC Universal for $10 million in March 2010 for publishing her likeness in a vulgar context. A judge ruled against her in July 2010.
    • Goofs
      Both Kristin Davis and Malin Akerman break character in the group yoga scene, and are laughing hysterically and trying to hide it.

    9/10
    Why all the negativity?
    I absolutely love this movie - it's our families all time favourite and never misses its mark with giving us all a huge laugh. I am really surprised by the low scores given by so many other people. I guess it goes to show that everyone is different when it comes to what they enjoy but I have given this a 9/10 as it's a great giggle and as a mum of 3 who has been married 15 years I can honestly relate to some of the characters. Love this!
