Anyone seen "Couples Retreat"?
« on: November 05, 2009, 11:17:31 AM »
I love Kristen Bell and she's starring in that new comedy with Vince Vaughn, Jason Bateman and Kristin Davis.

But I wasn't really convinced of Forgetting Sarah Marshall, so my question is: Is this better?

If it's any help at all, here's Mark Kermode's review. It's clip some guy has taken from the podcast and runs about a minute or two... Kermode reviews Couple's Retreat

Doesn't sound good. But although I am prone to accidents, I never walked into a glas door...

Each week on the show, when it comes to the top ten, he gives a summary of his opinion of each one, but people's comments and emails get read out to, so it's in context. I didn't hear anything good there either.  :(

Actually they did the show live from a cinema and invited the audience to talk about the films as well. One guy of Couple's Retreat said, "Favreau should stick to directing. And Vaugn... dieting."  :laugh:

I would like to form my own opinion on this film :p but... Roger Ebert gave it a terrible score ¬_¬ and that worries me!

I didn't think I wanted to see that one.

I just looked...there are 3 reviews posted on Epinions, and all give it 2 out of 5 stars.  Here's the link to the page with the reviews if you want to see what the people thought the issues with it were.

Ever sinced Jon pointed him out in relation to the Last House on the Lseft remake I am a regular listener to the (Simon Mayo and) Mark Kermode podcast. While one has to see his comments in perspective (he is a critic and therefore has different priorities) I find him to be fun to listen to (most of the time).
