At the urging of their friends, four couples go to a couples' retreat to experience all the fun and beauty of the tropics. However, when they arrive, they discover that the expectations of the island are a little different from what they all anticipated.
This was a very cute movie. It had a good balance of innuendo and heartfelt moments, and the antics weren't so unbelievable that it became a slapstick sex comedy. I liked that it was about couples and their marriages and not about finding love or something else cheesy; it was based on real life and real problems.
The island was too beautiful, the water too blue, the sun too bright, and the actor too sweat-free. It didn't look real at all, it looked like a green-screen projection. That bothered me. There weren't really any bugs or sand fleas or anything.
The acting was generally nicely subtle. Jason Bateman was my favorite.
It was a fun movie. Lots of pretty women, Vince Vaughn-style humor, all that. Not bad.
