Kermode on “Couple’s Retreat”

Chief Imagination Officer

As it is well documented around here I’m a big fan of the BBC’s Mark Kermode. I don’t always agree with his analysis but I am always entertained by his analysis. Now while I haven’t yet seen Couple’s Retreat (nor do I plan to), I suspect that this is one of the cases where I likely would agree with the good doctor’s opinion. Although I think maybe he’s exaggerating just a tiny bit. Have you ever walked into a glass door? Take a listen below…

Kermode is awesome. We don’t always agree but I love listening to him rant.

This is funny????? I just don’t see it.

I’ve listened to a lot of his reviews. The last one I listened to was his review of Inglourious Basterds. 10 incoherent minutes of “impersonations” of Tarantino and Roth.

I haven’t listened since.

LOL! That was great. I do quite often love reading/hearing good criticism of terrible movies. That reminds me, I need to start reading A.O. Scott again…
