I'm not seeing a link here. Srsly.
You forgot the link, Beaks by ThrowMeTheIdol	Jun 30th, 2009 11:15:41 PM
It'll probably be up there by the time most of you read this tomorrow.
Guess Kristen Bell was so hot Beaks got busy by slayme	Jun 30th, 2009 11:15:52 PM
doing - other things - to actually link to the trailer...
Here's the link by sitchin	Jun 30th, 2009 11:21:24 PM
Happy to help. Pay it forward. Do unto others, yada yada http://su.pr/1oafq3=

in glorious quicktime! Your welcome Beaks, you owe me a little of your paycheck now.
EXPECTED MORE!!!! LOOKS PEDESTRIAN! C'MON!!!!! by Mennen	Jun 30th, 2009 11:22:08 PM
VV and JF-- and THIS is the best they could do?
Here's the link since Beaks is.. busy.. - http://tiny.cc/yxXQ7 by slayme	Jun 30th, 2009 11:22:11 PM

tarnation by sitchin	Jun 30th, 2009 11:23:32 PM
Try this... su.pr is screwy. Take out the extra spaces that AICN inserts... http://www.apple.com/trailers/ universal/couplesretreat/
great cast - EXPECTED MORE... by Mennen	Jun 30th, 2009 11:23:52 PM
These are THE BEST parts of the film? Guy, get real. It looks like they wanted a vacation and found a reason (shoot a movie) to go ... AND GET PAID FOR IT!
Good going, Beaks... by ErnestBorgNine	Jun 30th, 2009 11:33:47 PM
and I'm the asshole? Maybe he didn't post a link to the trailer because Merrick posted an article about this last week? (I know he didn't, but it's funny because Beaks reads stuff on other sites and posts it here without checking to see if it's been covered on AICN yet.)
Amazing... by codymr	Jun 30th, 2009 11:46:48 PM
How Bateman's career was in the toilet a just a few years ago - basically he was no more than a washed up child sitcom actor. But since Arrested Development, he is racking up a pretty good resume of character parts. I really look forward to projects he is attached to these days.
vince vaughn is on a losing streak... by supercowbell5THECOWBELLHASSPOKEN	Jun 30th, 2009 11:51:13 PM
break up? ok alright...fred claus? terrible. four christmasesesesessses? even fucking worse.
Fucking awesome job Beaks. by UndeadRabbitZombieJim	Jun 30th, 2009 11:51:31 PM
Now I have to type Apple.com/Trailers in all by myself! Get over it, assholes.
How the hell does Favreau by UndeadRabbitZombieJim	Jun 30th, 2009 11:55:20 PM
find the time to be fucking awesome ALL THE TIME. I mean, with Iron Man 2 and The Avengers on his plate, he is still the best part of a few movies a year. And Paul Rudd totally blew chunks on him in I Love You, Man. God, I love that movie.
After MADE, im very wary. by BMacSmith	Jun 30th, 2009 11:58:55 PM
loved Swingers, but Made was a dose of reality.
Oh God, wow. by UndeadRabbitZombieJim	Jul 1st, 2009 12:13:23 AM
Didn't realize I missed the Billingsley/Favreau thing until just now. RALPHIE!!!
Sweet Atari Packaging Font by Greggers	Jul 1st, 2009 12:20:10 AM
But other than that, looks like another Judd Aptow-ish type thing where mooks undergo humiliating ordeals for the sake of romance, all in a scenic vacation paradise. See also: FORGETTING SARA MARSHALL, and THE HEARTBREAK KID.
forgetting sarah marshall rocks by supercowbell5THECOWBELLHASSPOKEN	Jul 1st, 2009 12:21:08 AM
fucking underappreciated movie. fucking hilarious.
Joel McHale... by ErnestBorgNine	Jul 1st, 2009 12:26:24 AM
that guy's a riot.
Beaks... Jason Bateman, dude! by TheBLIGHT	Jul 1st, 2009 12:50:18 AM
...you forgot to mention in your list 'o' names the main reason, a good chunk of people I know will pay to see this. Jason Bateman... "Putting the gun away in Therapy" AWESOME.
Where's Pennsy? by chromedome	Jul 1st, 2009 01:17:44 AM

This movie must take place by BillEmic	Jul 1st, 2009 01:53:46 AM
in a parallel universe where out-of-shape schlubs like Vince Vaughn and Jon Fav can marry a gorgeous hottie like Malin Ackerman and the Sex and the City chick.
Clearly made for the vacation by CerebralAssassin	Jul 1st, 2009 02:22:58 AM
Everyone is slumming it to get a great island getaway vaca. Was this directed by the same dork who starred in the overpraised A Christmas Story?
Doesn't take much... by RighteousBrother	Jul 1st, 2009 02:33:52 AM
to get the AICN crew 'Giddy' these days does it?
SPACED! by Smithys.Bark	Jul 1st, 2009 02:58:39 AM
Hey its Duane Benzie (Peter Serafinowicz) from Spaced as the snooty waiter!!!!
Where is that resident douche that always kisses Bells by lockesbrokenleg	Jul 1st, 2009 02:59:58 AM
ass on here?
Looks like a shit Italian summer comedy by zapano	Jul 1st, 2009 03:50:03 AM
it doesn't even have Russell Brand to redeem it
Greggers by Ribbons	Jul 1st, 2009 04:36:10 AM
'The Heartbreak Kid'? Produced and directed by The Farrelly Brothers, starring Ben Stiller and Michelle Monaghan? That movie has nothing to do with Judd Apatow, besides for the fact that Danny McBride was in a small role in that and was also in one of the movies he produced. I know it's cool to hate on whatever's popular, but if you're going for incisive social commentary, at least try to be a little more creative in your criticism. Anyway this movie looks okay but pretty bland, Apatow involvement or not.
Oh yeah... by Ribbons	Jul 1st, 2009 04:38:34 AM
...Jon Favreau's character was the best part of 'I Love You, Man.' Fucking hilarious.
THE ROMANTIC COMEDY IS OBSOLETE... by ZOMBIE_FRANK_BOOTH	Jul 1st, 2009 04:42:12 AM
AND HAS NOT BEEN RELEVANT SINCE WOODY ALLEN REINVENTED THE GENRE WITH ANNIE HALL IN 1975. WHERE ARE THE NEW ANNIE HALLS OR MANHATTANS? IS VINCE VAUGHAN OUR SAVIOUR? FUCK NO.
No-one's mentioned Peter Serafinowicz yet? by The Dark Shite	Jul 1st, 2009 05:11:09 AM
If you don't know him, check out the link Beaks added. The guy's a fucking genius!
Oh Smithys.Bark did. by The Dark Shite	Jul 1st, 2009 05:15:25 AM
As Optimus Prime says in shit movies, "My bad."
After watching Forgetting Sarah Marshall again this weekend by Itchy	Jul 1st, 2009 05:55:11 AM
I think there should be a new law in Hollywood that Kirsten Bell be in every movie ... in a bikini. Also, she should sit on my face.
Now that's a law, and a chick by slayme	Jul 1st, 2009 05:56:59 AM
I could really get behind. ermmm hrmmm
You'll shoot your eye out, kid by Darth Busey	Jul 1st, 2009 06:32:44 AM
with Kristen Bell and Malin Ackerman in bikinis, they'll be a lot of dudes shooting their eye out. If you know what I mean.
I'm here! by PennsyDeux	Jul 1st, 2009 07:17:16 AM
Was asleep when this talkback was created, but I can understand Beaks being distracted by the uber-hotness that IS Kristen Bell to forget to put up the trailer. ;)
It does look promising, actually...probably an R rating by PennsyDeux	Jul 1st, 2009 07:28:16 AM
If Billingsley can do as good a first-time job of directing as Nick Stoller did on Forgetting Sarah Marshall, things gonna be OK.
ZOMBIE_FRANK_BOOTH, even now, as back then... by PennsyDeux	Jul 1st, 2009 07:31:08 AM
Star Wars>>>>>>>>Annie Hall. The wrong film won the Oscar for best picture of 1977.
Welcome to the Couples Retreat would you by Grammaton Cleric Binks	Jul 1st, 2009 07:34:37 AM
like a refreshing glass of Hershey's Chocolate Milk?
Fat 45 year-olds dating hot 25 year-olds- HILARIOUS!!! by YackBacker	Jul 1st, 2009 07:41:36 AM
Oh, how I love our modern KING OF QUEENS land of comedy. What banality!
Re: Where is that resident douche that always kisses Bells by photoboy	Jul 1st, 2009 07:42:26 AM
I dunno, but I'd like to kiss Bell's ass. Preferably with tongue.
Vaughn by Bladernner79	Jul 1st, 2009 08:17:56 AM
the same shit in every movie, why not make another shit holiday movie you fat face hack. when will people start getting tired of his fast talking routine ?
Reality by Bladernner79	Jul 1st, 2009 08:19:35 AM
if a man has money he can marry women way better looking then he is, i see it everyday not that big of a stretch.
Great cast but... by Davidhessstation	Jul 1st, 2009 08:27:28 AM
It just doesn't look that funny. The kind of movie 30-45 year old white couples would find funny.
So, Kristen Bell's wardrobe for her movies consists of... by YackBacker	Jul 1st, 2009 08:38:55 AM
A bikini top and a bikini bottom. Okey dokey, my inner feminist has a hot, lesbian crush on her.
Kristen Bell, Kristen Davis, Malin Akerman by Big Jim	Jul 1st, 2009 08:43:03 AM
I'm sold! Didn't find the trailer to be a laugh-riot. I'm hoping it is rated R and they can't put any of the truly funny stuff in the trailer.
MADE was awesome. by Balcony Fool	Jul 1st, 2009 08:49:43 AM
At least as good as SWINGERS.
Billingsley Also Produced IRON MAN by William Ashbless	Jul 1st, 2009 08:57:04 AM
Crazy, huh?
YB, Bell's bikini streak ends with Astro Boy & When in Rome... by PennsyDeux	Jul 1st, 2009 09:35:33 AM
Still, it's physically impossible for her not to be hot in anything she wears.
Ribbons by Greggers	Jul 1st, 2009 09:36:21 AM
There's a difference between "Judd Apatow-ish" and "made by Judd Apatow." Like how CHARADE was Hitchcock-ish, but not made by Hitchcock. Or the fact that you're trying to jump all over my jock about this is dick-ish, but I'm willing to give you the benefit of the doubt and assume you're not a dick. And for the record, I'm not hating so much as yawning. When this winds up streaming on Netflix in a few months, I'll probably watch it. And CHRISTMAS STORY is not over-rated. Kids these days, I'm tellin' ya...
What's also crazy W. Ashbless by nomihs	Jul 1st, 2009 09:36:29 AM
Is that P.B. has been with Favs for a very long time, mostly as a producer and best bud. Look further down on IMDB and you'll see. If you go too far, and you see "A Christmas Story" I don't think they were together then...although I'm not sure. Also, this movie looks to be funny and enjoyable. More for my wife, than for me, but we'll see.
Wack. by Harry Weinstein	Jul 1st, 2009 09:50:55 AM
Because there aren't enough shitty sitcoms on TV anymore.
That was really kinda flat? by Jawa 007	Jul 1st, 2009 10:14:37 AM
Nary a smile much less a laugh.
Foregtting Sarah Marshall by RobFromBackEast	Jul 1st, 2009 10:19:35 AM
was really funny. I'd watch Vaughn and Favreau in anything, I don't even need to look at the trailer.
Kristen Bell is overated by Raymar	Jul 1st, 2009 10:23:20 AM

Kristen Bell is overated by Raymar	Jul 1st, 2009 10:23:22 AM

"Kristen Bell is overrated" does not exist in this dojo. by PennsyDeux	Jul 1st, 2009 10:43:40 AM
Word.
Should have mentioned Kristen Bell in a bikini in the headline by D.Vader	Jul 1st, 2009 11:17:11 AM
Bc I've been ignoring this story all day, and THAT would have made me click on over.
Didn't realize that one chick from SATC was so hot by spectrebeeyatch	Jul 1st, 2009 12:05:52 PM
Trailer might not be filled with laughs because the jokes might not be pg material.
Another tropical setting by skimn	Jul 1st, 2009 12:23:10 PM
I know it has its fans, but Club Dread SUCKED major coconut balls.
I love Club Paradise by banville	Jul 1st, 2009 12:32:12 PM
and that is all.
Did anybody actually watch the trailer? by Jaka	Jul 1st, 2009 12:33:09 PM
I mean, dang, maybe I'm simple or something, but I was smiling all the way through that thing. Funny doesn't necessarily need to be gut busting guffaws. Actors playing NORMAL characters that keep you interested and smiling, that you can maybe relate to a little bit are missing from the big screen right now. Particularly those over, say, 25. Personally, I don't need gross out or quirky all the time. Beyond that I actually thought more than a couple of those lines could lead to funny scenes, which makes me want to see the entire movie. Once upon a time that's what a good trailer did. I'll be going to see this one in the theater, methinks.
Bell's eyes are set too close together by chimpjnr	Jul 1st, 2009 12:42:44 PM
It's true.
Along Came polly + Forgetting Sarah Marshall = by dopepope	Jul 1st, 2009 12:51:13 PM
Couples Retreat.
Beaks by WealthyPeasant	Jul 1st, 2009 01:31:49 PM
Kristen Bell dancing? Don't lie. You know it was the yoga trainer that had your ready for a "session."
Beaks, maybe it was Vince Vaughn that clouded your judgment? by Fareal	Jul 1st, 2009 01:56:09 PM

lockesbrokenleg, you'd be first in line to date her. by PennsyDeux	Jul 1st, 2009 03:00:06 PM
You know it. :)
Damn, that Iron Man director must have clones of himself by lockesbrokenleg	Jul 1st, 2009 03:23:09 PM
how does he do all those things AND direct a movie?
Dinner For Five by Flexfill	Jul 1st, 2009 03:28:06 PM
I used to supply camera equipment to Ralphie and Fav for Dinner For Five. It was on IFC a long time ago. They've been collaborating for years. Nice blokes.
Mind you, K-Bell is cute enough by Raymar	Jul 1st, 2009 05:01:21 PM
But why would you spare a second glance at her with Malin around?!
K-Bell = Great; V-Vaughn = groan by Puddleglum	Jul 1st, 2009 05:32:14 PM
he just doesn't add anything likeable to any movie I've ever seen him in. Still with Ralphie behind this movie, I'll give it a whirl.
I would normally avoid anything... by NYC	Jul 1st, 2009 06:05:44 PM
With vince vaughn or jon favreau , but with Malin Akerman AND Kristen Davis-I will have to check this one out.
This just proves that no matter how many by archer1949	Jul 1st, 2009 06:49:57 PM
big studio productions she gets cast in, Kristen Bell will never, EVER find a more interesting or multi dimension character to play than Veronica Mars. It's all the "girlfriend" or the "wife" in mediocre comedies from here on out from here on out, babe. And what the hell do people have against Club Paradise? I remember seeing it as a kid and loved it. I saw it agian recently and still thinks it holds up. It's no Caddyshack, but it's not that bad.
Why's nobody checking the link to.. by The Dark Shite	Jul 1st, 2009 08:59:41 PM
Peter Serafinowicz's website? It's funny as fuck! The "O News" sketch! The "Ringo Remembers" sketch? He's fucking brilliant. I swear there isn't a person alive he can't impersonate. It would make for a more interesting TB than discussing the likes of Vaughan & Bell.
Actually, scratch that.. by The Dark Shite	Jul 1st, 2009 09:07:02 PM
Check out his "Acting Masterclass with Al Pacino" sketch. That is fucking insane!
Wow this film stars Darth Maul! by ManEatingFish	Jul 2nd, 2009 02:30:03 AM
Peter Serafinowicz
Greggers by Ribbons	Jul 2nd, 2009 03:37:33 AM
You're right, it was kind of dick-ish move of me, sorry about that. I had a bit too much to drink last night and it didn't really come out the way I wanted it to. Anyway I just see a lot of Apatow backlash on this site and elsewhere and I don't really think he deserves it. To be honest I'm not a big fan of the stuff he writes and directs himself, but I think he's a good producer and "the state of comedy" is better now than it's been since Harold Ramis's heyday..
Club Paradise is a great flick by blackshuck	Jul 3rd, 2009 07:59:56 AM
we should be so lucky that this movie is near as good. Moranis and Levy and Faherty and Martin, plus Robin Wiliams, Peter O'Toole, Jimmy Cliff and TWIGGY? The movie mentioned above has too many folks trying to look pretty = bad comedy.
Vaughn can be hysterical by liljuniorbrown	Jul 3rd, 2009 05:22:01 PM
In the right films. Wedding Crashers,Old School and Anchorman are all great Vince Vaughn roles. Wes Mantooth, fucking funny.
