    Weekend Movieland Braces for Full Frontal Assault of Couple's Retreatmer


    COUPLES RETREAT
    The Story: Four couples venture to a idyllic island retreat where they are forced to confront what ails their troubled relationships.
    The Pitch: He's Just Not Into You meets Wedding Crashers
    Who It's For: Stagnating mid-life couples seeking 90 minutes of release from their private hell in mocking the private hells of other mid-life couples.
    Cause for Hope: Actually a couple of mild laughs in the trailer; Veronica Mars has not quite worn out her welcome yet.
    Cause for Concern: It will not end here. Vaughn has at least three other comedies already in development.
