Life can hit you pretty hard sometimes. It is so easy to get caught in the moments, the issues, and the stresses of life that families suffer and marriages are neglected; some realize it and accept it, others run from it, and some do not even realize that it is happening to them. Couples need to take time out for themselves to get things back to the way they were, to better appreciate their spouse and realize the importance of family. Couples Retreat plops you right in the middle of four such couples from Buffalo Grove, IL. Three couples are in a relationship that seemingly works for them while the final couple is considering divorce. And so we enter the comedically dramatic world of these four couples as they travel to paradise for sun, fun and therapy; while it presents some laughable moments, it falls short in character development and strong story giving us another average romantic comedy.
