Favreau is one of those actors that just hits that honest dirt genuine kind of guy. So to see he is teaming up with comedy gems Jason Bateman and Vince Vaughn for a comedy he wrote works for me.
Universal Pictures has cast Vince Vaughn, Jon Favreau, Jason Bateman and Faizon Love in Couples Retreat, a Favreau-scripted, Peter Billingsley-directed comedy.
The story follows four couples who go to a tropical island resort. While one couple is there to work on their marriage, the others are there to play but soon discover that participation in the resort’s couples therapy is not optional.
There is already comedy to be had when you take couples who thought they could just enjoy the resort and force them to take part in the therapy while they protest they don’t require it.
The larger cast of primary players guarantees we will see a lot of crossover, interaction and discovery of these players. None of the women have been named yet, but I am sure they will bring about lots of conflict too.
