Plots(1)
Dave (Vince Vaughn) and Ronnie (Malin Akerman) are the social epicenter of their group of friends. Over the years, they’ve built a full life through commitment to their kids, friends and work. After eight seemingly blissful years together, Jason (Jason Bateman) and Cynthia (Kristen Bell) are at a crossroads. The once-happy pair shocks their close friends - Dave & Ronnie, Joey (Jon Favreau) & Lucy (Kristin Davis) and Shane (Faizon Love) & his new girlfriend Trudy (Kali Hawk) - when they announce that they are considering a divorce. In order to save their marriage, they’re making one last Hail Mary. Jason and Cynthia have discovered Eden Resort, a tropical island paradise in the South Pacific specializing in extensive couples therapy. But the only way they can afford to go is through the “Pelican Package,” Eden Resort’s group rate. It’s a win-win. While they get the counseling they need, their friends can bask on the white, sandy beaches, relax in the spas, ride jet skis and just enjoy themselves.
As tempting as it sounds (and as much as everyone wants to help Jason and Cynthia), there’s just no way they can all get away… until Dave & Ronnie agree to go. Now the four couples are on their way to paradise, and it’s “Game On” in the tropics. But there’s one small catch… The group discovers that ALL of the couples must partake in the unorthodox counseling techniques of Eden Resort’s renowned “Couples Whisperer” - Monsieur Marcel (Jean Reno). It’s all or none. And if it’s none, they will all be sent home. The couples soon find out that not everything is as it seems, especially in their own relationships. What follows is a hilarious and heartfelt look at real-world problems faced by all couples.
