Guardian Online
"Couples Retreat is another turkey for the star (Vaughn) who looks like he's eaten a few since Swingers."
Channel 4
"Rather like an unsuitable partner, Couples Retreat starts out fun before gradually getting annoying and then becoming downright aggravating. While it's not the worst film ever, there are times when it feels as irritating as sunburn."
The Mirror
"About as funny as discovering a fly floating in your pina colada while falling off your lounger into a malarial puddle, Couples Retreat inspires not a single laugh, not a solitary titter."
