One of those comedies I like getting back to. Recently I rewatched it again and I was laughing like crazy. It’s really the kind of humour I adore and I can relax to. In this story we get to know several couples. First one is Dave and Ronnie (Vince Vaughn & Malin Åkerman), who are a sweet couple, have two little children and not that much time for each other. Then Joey and Lucy (Jon Favreau & Kristin Davis), a couple that wish to get divorced as soon as possible, or rather as soon as their teenage daughter leaves home. Then we get Shane (Faizon Love), who has recently divorced his wife and is now dating a way younger Trudy (Kali Hawk). Last but not least, Jason and Cynthia (Jason Bateman & Kristen Bell), who are a very hard-working couple and are having difficulties with conceiving a baby. And they are the ones who decide to sign up for a couple therapy at some mysterious resort called Eden. However, they cannot afford going there on their own, but they’ve found the Pelican Package, which means that if they bring 3 other couples, all of them will pay half price. Obviously, the 3 other couples don’t even want to hear about it, but Jason and Cynthia beg them to help as it could be their last chance to save the marriage. Their friends finally agree but only if they could skip the therapy sessions and enjoy the goods of that magical Eden. How surprised they are when the rules of Eden say differently… I guess I love this film so much because each actor and actress in it is a magnificent individual, who can play their role very well. Very good casting. Plus Jean Reno as the leader of Eden and Peter Serafinowicz as that annoying manager forcing everyone to attend the sessions. Even that yoga guy, Salvadore (Carlos Ponce) made me cry with his character. Seriously, I love this comedy and no matter what you say, it’s my guilty pleasure and I recommend you to spend an evening with it.
My rating: 7/10
