Comedy
A comedy centered around four Midwestern couples who settle into a tropical-island resort for a vacation. While one of the couples is there to work on their marriage, the other three set out to jet ski, spa and enjoy some fun in the sun. They soon discover that participation in the resort’s couples therapy is not optional. Suddenly, their group-rate vacation comes at a price.
