Scaredy Cat Movie Review: Couple's Retreat

Ards got Couple's Retreat on Netflix & brought it over for all of us to watch.

The set up of the movie was kinda long.
I guess they had to show how the four couples (friends) ended up going on this retreat to save one of their friend's marriage, but it could have been shorter.

And we all enjoyed the yoga scene.
"Bump."

And the younger kid was cute & funny.
"Don't pee in the fake toilet, honey."

Oh, and the Asian guy from Community is on it too.
He's so unpleasant looking, he's great!

Stuff that bothered us?
1. Some of the ocean background scenes looked fake. Not sure if they were, but looked kinda green screened, you know?

2. Shark scene looks very fake & bad. It looked fake & bad in the promos, and it's more so b/c the scene is longer.

3. Why are some of the wives really young?
OK, it's only Veronica Mars girl who's really young compared to Michael Bluth (I should learn actor names, really... Kristen Bell? and Jason Bates? Something like that?), so it was hard to believe they were a couple.

And like watching any movies set in Hawaii, we wanted to go to Tahiti after seeing this. Tropical paradise... Mmmmm.
