Review of Couples Retreat

Nature at Bay

Advantages: Accessible, attractive, atmospheric
Disadvantages: Covers too small an area

, you can enjoy a coffee or snack beside the duck-pond at the Aire, which is, for a motorway service area, a remarkably pleasant spot. In fact, it is probably the only motorway service area at which I shall ever recommend stopping, because generally I detest them, even in France. Don't fill up with petrol here, though; you'll find it much more cheaply at French supermarkets.

Advantages: None
Disadvantages: Everything.

The whole premise of the film and storyline are unbelievable, and you just hate all the people in it. The plot revolves around Jason Bateman?s character and wife having a hard time conceiving so that want to go to an island retreat to re-bond, but it?s so expensive they can only afford to go if three other couples go ...
