    Retreat Usually Follows a Defeat

    Like Vince Vaughn's "The Break-Up," this rom-com has its funny moments, to be sure, but overall it just fails to satisfy.

    The cast is likeable and talented, but the plot is so cookie cutter that you really don't identify with any of these marital "types." In fact, I was actively rooting against at least one of the couples (Jon Favreau, I'm looking at you) and could not have cared less about the marriage of Kristen Bell and Jason Bateman. These are two very appealing performers who were given basically unsympathetic parts.

    The raunchy humor of the yoga class scene went on far too long. It never built. It started with an obvious gross joke and then kept repeating the same thing over and over, like a kid in junior high who thinks a once clever punchline is just as funny the 34th time he repeats it.

    Wait for this one on home video.

    Funny but...

    by Dimez

    PG-13!! Not for teens. This movie "covertly" endorses orgies, excessive alcohol, and dressing half naked as a way to find love. Most teens won't know that the message is to overcome your temptations and move toward what truly matters in life: the future. Teens likely accept the drinking, sleeping with perfect strangers, and downright immoral acts as something that you do while your waiting to decide that you're "ready" to be married. However, for adults the message is simple: your spouse is what you've always wanted in retrospect of who either of you have become or what you've been mislead to believe you've missed in life. An intelligent mature audience will see past the overexaggerated fun of single life and find messages about faithfulness, love, commitment, and that the hardest thing about being married is looking outside yourself. Relationships aren't always this serious so enjoy this movie for the comedy that it is. It is, after all, funny. Christians: allot of cursing and sex.

    My husband and I went to see this on our anniversary and it was perfect. Funny, lighthearted.
