A couple wishing to save their marriage invite three other couples to join them at a tropical island resort. Upon arriving at the island paradise expecting to enjoy some fun in the sun, the other couples are unhappy to discover mandatory therapy sessions are required to remain at the resort and that the fun is reserved for the single side of the island.


This was a fun movie. I enjoyed it. Vince Vaughn does a great job of making this believable. Let's face it he is funny anyway. We all have times when we think our relationship could use a little help. How appealing is it to think that we could do it in thatch roofed luxury huts with lots of beautiful blue water, jet skis and drinks with little umbrellas! WhooHoo sign me up! When they get there and find out that the fear of forced therapy is real they try to make the best of it. Hilarious results and the movie actually has a wholesome ending!

I definitely recommend this movie for the over 13 crowd. You don't have to think too hard, it is just fun and entertaining!
