There's a reason why movies suck

I saw "Couples Retreat" over the weekend and buyer beware, this movie is an average movie tied up with an obnoxious happy ending bow.  I laughed a lot but then the movie needed to wrap itself up and as always, that's where most big movies fail miserably.  They appeal to the heart no matter how much the back story of the charecters would prohibit that course.

Four couples end up on a vacation island to work on their marriage, thus the movie's name. One guy is already divorced and brought a girl half his age (and yes, I used girl even though it is demeaning to call a grown woman that, this charecter was a girl even at 20), a boring couple, an uhnappy couple waiting for their kid to move out so they can get divorced, and a couple really wanting to work on their marriage.  Laughs and hilarity ensue using both the American Pie method of gross sexual situations and the juvenile but sophisticated humor of Judd Apatow movies only it was more juvenilie than sophisticated. 

The movie sucked when it got time to end.  Three couples do hilariously impossible emotional leaps and bounds to make up with their wives completely disregarding the years and years of behavior it took them to get to the point of divorce. 

They should label this movie a "romantic comedy fantasy" so that impressionable youth will know that happy endings like this are not logical and problems that existed in a relationship don't go away with some sort of love epiphany.  Yes, I realize that most people will know that the ending was schlocky but unless they analyze why and critically think about why the ending was bad, they'll take the message that it sends about love into their subconscious and unknowingly think that love works in this way, some sort of Goliath like love conquers all myth, and that'll most likely lead to problems in their own lives as they unknowingly act out the cultural message of love that they have drunk from so many times but have never stopped to wonder why it tastes so foul
