Couples Retreat is a romantic comedy that, in essence, illustrates what happens once the guy lands the girl at the end of the romance movies. The movie follows four couples as they get older, have children and careers, and work on fixing their homes and keeping their marriages together.

To keep their marriages intact, the four couples find themselves traveling to Eden, a resort located in a tropical region that is focused on couple’s skill building.

Jason (Jason Bateman, Extract) and Cynthia (Kristen Bell, Fanboys) plan the trip because not only are they the planners and organizers of the group (they show a PowerPoint presentation about the resort), but they are seriously considering getting a divorce.

Joey (Jon Favreau, I Love You, Man) and Lucy (Kristin Davis, Sex and the City: The Movie) are a dysfunctional couple who cheat on one another anytime the opportunity presents itself.

Dave (Vince Vaughn, Dodgeball) and Ronnie (Malin Akerman, Watchmen) think their marriage is right on track, but find out in therapy sessions that they are essentially living separate lives and pulling away from one another.

The biggest shipwreck of a relationship is Shane (Faizon Love, A Day in the Life) and 20-year-old Trudy (Kali Hawk, Pushing Thirty). Shane is on the rebound from an ugly divorce with the love of his life, Jennifer (Tasha Smith, The Longshots) and dates Trudy to make himself feel young again.

In addition to the star-studded main cast, supporting actors include Jean Reno (The Pink Panther), John Michael Higgins (The Ugly Truth) and everyone’s favorite naked Asian, Ken Jeong (All About Steve, The Hangover).

The movie shows the ups and downs that come after getting the girl in the end. The story doesn’t always end happily ever-after, but Couples Retreat shows how couples really can live happily ever after.
