This is a movie that I would have loved to have been a cast or crew member on (heck, I’d like to be that on any movie), but this one, filmed in all sorts of exotic locales – French Polynesia, Bora Bora, Tahiti, etc imagine having to go to “work” there? But beyond the beautiful scenery, if you’ll listen to this movie and follow along with what is going on in these people’s lives, you’ll see people who truly want (or don’t) want to stay together and discover things about themselves. There are timeless truths here as people show how we never really communicate well that people who love each other overlook each other and forget to make sure to tell those around them that they love them and express those feelings. They overlook, they say hurtful things, etc. So listen to what is said, especially some of the things Vince Vaughn’s character says — it does good to hear them. Yes, that’s right, Vince Vaughn, typical funny  man has lots of wise things to say. He just got married recently too.

Also always good to see Jean Reno – except he didn’t hit anyone or blow anything up.

But the movie isn’t without humor. It is good for laughs as well with Vince’s usual witty remarks. Jon Favreau’s back. An epic Guitar Hero battle (or hustle). A therapist telling his patient that “you shouldn’t pull a theoretical gun on your therapist”. Vince Vaughn getting attacked by sharks and living to tell. You can enjoy the evening with humor and have a gently reinforced message that you should be more attuned to the people you love in life – treat them better, be open and responsive to them because they are the best thing in your life.

I didn’t do anything for Valentine’s really, so this is pretty much the closest thing. And it was nice. Now, just get someone to stay along for the ride!

Rated PG-13. 107 minutes (1 hour 47 minutes). Some language. Bunches of swim swear on very shapely females and one big guy’s butt.
