By Steven Zeitchik So Universal gets its first domestic hit in seven months with "Couples Retreat," a picture that proves that you can get men to see a Romantic Comedy if you make it bawdy enough (and get women to see a bawdy Comedy if you put Vince Vaughn in it). There are all sorts of caveats to this happy turn for the studio, including the rather evident fact that there was nothing else opening wide this weekend (it only felt like "Paranormal Activity" did -- more on that...

America to Critics: Drop Dead! Couples Retreat Owns Weekend [Box Office Monday]
When it comes to comedy, there's no arguing with taste. And if what America wants in their humor is the smirking, manic, his-lips-say-wacky-but-his-eyes-say-death-can't-come-quick-enough antics of Vince Vaughn, then who are we to argue?

Couples Retreat's Malin Akerman: Time to unwind, undress, and get skinny-dipping!: VIDEO
That quote is what you get when you travel a ways to interview Malin Akerman , one of the stars of “ Couples Retreat ,” in theaters this weekend. Akerman mixed up a few cocktails for their interview with MTV. I would imagine there are worse locations to film a movie than Bora Bora. Akerman and co-stars Vince Vaughn , Jason Bateman , Kristen Bell , Kristin Davis , and Jon Favreau have been doing a lot of interviews for their new Romantic Comedy, so mixing some booze into the schedule probably...

Vince Vaughn victorious with "Couples Retreat"
Los Angeles (Reuters) - The critically maligned Vince Vaughn comedy "Couples Retreat" easily took the top spot at the weekend Box Office in North America on Sunday, helped by the absence of any other new releases.

Vince of course had a rather hot and heavy romance with Jennifer Aniston not too long ago, and the two were even rumoured to be talking marriage. From that we garnered that he was looking to get serious, and it just seems that Jennifer was not the one. Now, Vince has the authority to crash his own wedding, as it has just been announced that he is...

As Chris Difford and Glenn Tilbrook of Squeeze wrote so long ago, “Let’s face it, I’m wrong again.” Yes, my admittedly halfhearted hunch on Friday , that director Peter Billingsley’s multi-star comedy vehicle, “ Couples Retreat ,” would be lucky to break double-digits, has been proven to be laughably wrong. Instead, as per Andrew Stewart of Variety , the film grossed a cool estimated $35.3 million for Universal despite the appearance that nobody seemed...
