If you have not seen Couples Retreat, get thee to the nearest movie theater. Pronto!
I had not been to a movie theater in a while. Call me crazy, but I much prefer paying around $5 (Blu-ray) to rent a movie that I can watch whenever I get ready, in the comfort of my own home, without having to hear other people talk back to the screen or laughing loudly at something that doesn’t seem funny in the least to me. When hubby does this, I simply pause or rewind. Can’t do that in the theater. The scene is lost forever unless I rent the movie when it comes out on video, in which case I’ve paid over $15 for the same movie.
So when one of my fave actors, Vince Vaughn, is starring in a new flick, I’m torn. Do I catch this in the theater or do I wait for the video? I already know it’s going to be hilarious. This IS Vince Vaughn.
It just so happened, hubby and I found ourselves in the vicinity of a movie theater this past Saturday, so the choice was made. For 10 minutes before the previews, hubby complained about the $21 he had just dropped on our tickets. This is usually how it goes, so I kind of zoned out. Luckily the movie was an A++ or I would still be hearing about those $21.
You know how sometimes you see the best parts of a movie in the trailer? Well, Couples Retreat is not that movie. The trailer is just a sneak peek into what is possibly the funniest movie of the year.
This is a must see if you are in the mood for non-stop laughter. Although I was sandwiched in between hubby and some strange dude (what were we thinking going to the movies on Saturday night), I thoroughly enjoyed myself. At one point, my stomach was literally cramping from so much laughing.
Even if you’re not coupled up, you’ll find yourself cracking up at these outrageous couples and wondering what is your Animal Relationship Totem. Side note: Apparently, I’m a Honey Bee. Alrighty then.
