Couples Retreat [2009]

I was looking forward to watch this movie.  There has been so much fuss about this movie and my friends actually go to Bora Bora for their honeymoon.  I think it was because of this movie.  I was sort of disappointed in the movie somehow because the setting of the beginning is a bit too long.  It is not what I was looking forward to.  But it's still a good movie about relationships and how to maintain a healthy family.

Couples Reatreat directed by Peter Billingsley is a comedy centered around four couples who settle into a tropical-island resort for a vacation. While one of the couples is there to work on the marriage, the others fail to realize that participation in the resort's therapy sessions is not optional.

It's Complicated [2009]

The name Meryl Streep was introduced to me from The Devil Wears Prada.  I think she's one of the most talented actress and for her age I have to give my thumbs up.  Her roles from each movies show the diverse talent he has.

It's Complicated directed by Nancy Meyers is fun and very entertaining.  However, it's probably not one of my favourite.  I would like to see Steve Martin more in this movie though :)

During his son's college graduation, Jane hooks up with her ex-husband, Jake, who's married to a younger woman.  When brought together at a family event, two exes find themselves oddly attracted to each other after ten years of divorce.  Although the couple think that this affair will stay in a different state, it brings itself back to their own city and disrupts their personal lives. While the couple still maintain other romances, they cannot help but to continue with their affair.  As if being your ex's mistress isn't tough enough, Jane also finds herself drawn to Adam, a smitten architect.

The Ugly Truth [2009]

A very entertaining movie, The Ugly Truth directed by Robert Luketic is fun and contemporary although the story line is a bit overrated about the main character.  Well that's just my personal perception.

At first I thought the doctor, the main character love interest, is actually gay rather than a perfect guy.  Despite all that, it's an easy and fun movie to relax in the evening.

A romantically challenged morning show producer is reluctantly embroiled in a series of outrageous tests by her chauvinistic correspondent to prove his theories on relationships and help her find love. His clever ploys, however, lead to an unexpected result.

In Sacramento, Abby Richter produces a morning news show that's about to be canceled. To boost ratings, her boss hires Mike Chadway, a local cable call-in host who promotes the ugly truth: sex is the only glue in a relationship, men can't change, and they only respond to women's looks. Mike offends Abby's sensibility: she has a checklist about the perfect man, and she's found him in her new neighbor, Colin, a hunky doctor. Mike offers to help her reel in Colin if she'll work with Mike on the show; she accepts the deal, ratings go up, and, with Mike's help, so does Colin's interest in her. Craig Ferguson, a hot air balloon, and the ugly truth help this take on "Cyrano" play out.

The Proposal [2009]

Sandra Bullock, what can you say about her? She's a wonderful woman and all her movies according to me are great!

The Proposal directed by Anne Fletcher is one of a kind.  The comedy is great, the scenes are beautiful and the romance, soft and sweet.  I would never want to miss watching this.

In New York, Margaret Tate is a successful self-made chief-editor of the Ruick & Hunt Publishing and loathed by her coworkers. Margaret lost her parents when she was sixteen and is tough with the employees of the office. Her executive assistant and aspirant editor Andrew Paxton has been working with her for three years without any recognition. When Margaret has problems with the immigration due to an expired visa and is threatened with deportation, she blackmails Andrew to agree to marry her. In return, he would be promoted to editor and she would publish his book. Meanwhile, the skeptical clerk of the immigration department Mr. Gilbertson schedules an interview with Margaret and Andrew after the weekend. The couple travels to Sitka, Alaska, to celebrate the ninetieth birthday of Andrew's grandmother and Margaret is welcomed by his warming family. Over the weekend, she grows closer to Andrew's family who ask her to marry Andrew in their barn, a family tradition in the Paxton family. And the tension increases when Mr. Gilbertson appears out of the blue in Sitka promising to charge Andrew for fraud.
