I’m happy to say I was quite pleased with this movie, it has a good combination of humor and story. As far as the funny is concerned, the film goes just to the borderline of ‘over-the-top’ humor in some scenes, I found this approach to be refreshing and a nice change.
The Movie has a group of friends agree on a get-away together to a resort called Eden. The friends/couples agree to journey to this paradise in support for their mutual friends who are having problems in their marriage and can only afford to go on a group rate. Unknowingly to everyone, all the couples are forced to take part in the group program or they must leave the island.
I enjoyed this comedy because it put the funniness into plausible situations. Even with the supporting eccentric characters through-out story, the director seemed to place a cap on overdoing unrealistic personality’s and situations just to get a laugh. This in turn, made the film more ‘true to life’ funny and also relative. I would also like to say that it’s nice to see Jason Bateman playing in a movie that he can be remembered in. This is a great date movie and is well worth a ticket.
