In keeping with the, "do more posting" philosopy, here is a review of
the movie "Couples Retreat".
My wife and I took a break from painting and emptying boxes in our new
house to go do something fun. We went with a friend to see Couples
Retreat. It was funny enough I suppose, but it wasn't anything "to
write home about." It was pretty typical actually. A bunch of
disfunctional couples get tricked into going on vacation and almost
all the relatioships fall apart, but are saved at the last minute, and
everyone lives happily ever after. Sort of like The Love boat, only
on an island...so like Fantasy Island, but no fantasy.
Vince Vaughn has been on the tube or radio...wherever...talking about
how this movie is not "raunchy" and that people are tired of "ranchy"
and that everyone tells him they like that it is not "raunchy." Well
if by "raunchy" you mean really funny, then, "NO" I'll take raunchy.
It's not that this movie was bad, or that I didn't laugh at times,
it's just that it wasn't that great and I laughed a lot more at other
movies. My wife and I go to see lots of movies...we love the
movies...for example we saw "the Hangover" earlier this summer. That
movie was Raunchy, and funny, and we both loved it. This movie just
wasn't. Although my wife liked it more than me, so your mileage may
vary.
Going back to the raunchy thing...ya know the characters in this movie
spent the whole time either tying to get a "hand job" during the
massage, or showing the erect penis of the guy during the massage, or
the women of the group oogling the naked yoga instractor, while he was
in all sorts of simulated sexual positions...or to shorten this a bit,
the only thing different was that there wasn't any "boobies" in this
movies. So I guess what Vice was getting at is that "raunchy" equals
"nudity"...which we know fromt he superbowl a few years ago is the
most evil thing in the world.
So what does this all boil down too...don't go see this movie...watch
the Hangover on DVD when it comes out instead...but be prepared...it
has boobs, and peepee parts and dirty words and everything.
