    Why all the hate?

    I'm not sure why this has such a low rating. I watch this anytime I see it available. It's a funny and heartfelt comedy. Each couple is different and has its own challenges. That's what makes the movie interesting.

    The yoga scene always makes me laugh. ALWAYS. It's just so awkward and preposterous.

    I think people hate on this movie because they're expecting it to be like other Vince Vaughn and Jon Favreu films. (Probably spelled his named wrong).

    People should keep in mind that those are different movies and if a writer or actor wants to make something different they can. I don't get upset when I see Jason Segel do a drama, because it's just different.

    If you go into this simply wanting to laugh but not expecting the same movies as before, you will enjoy it.

    Worst movie I've seen in a while...

    I watched this for free On Demand and still felt ripped off. Where do I start? The tone is so uneven that the scenes with the therapists are played straight despite the fact that two of them were played by John Michael Higgins and Ken Jeong, two guys who must struggle NOT to get laughs. It is almost as if they hired the actors and then decided to go a different direction -- if they even put that much thought into it. Before this debacle finally and mercifully staggers to an end it starts to feel as if they are literally making it up as they go along. There is no clear reason for this movie to even exist except as an excuse for the cast and crew to enjoy an nice tropical vacation, squeezing in a little movie work while they are there. Lazy, unprofessional filmmaking that is an insult to the audience.

    Average comedy with good actors

    Average comedy with good actors, without anything special about it. You can literally tell the story of the movie just from the name or the cover. But it's still enjoyable without any special expectations.

    Far better than the low rating

    It's not going to win an Oscar, but it's not an awful movie. I think the people who enjoy this can probably relate to a character which leads me to think it's the slightly more mature audience. Those who rated it low probably enjoy crap like Gods of Egypt. Enough said. Sit back, relax, and don't take it too seriously. Enjoy the gorgeous views of Bora Bora

    It's not a rom-com it's more of a com-rom. I think it's fine.

    I guess I went into it without a whole lot of expectation. I didn't expect to be knocked off my feet by anything meaningful or insightful. I just watched it with my wife, expected it to put a smile on my face. Which it did fine.
