There was a time when the idea of Vince Vaughn and John Favreau teaming up on screen was enough to get me super hyped. But that was 1996 some time after Swingers. Then Made was a complete flop. And then there was The Break Up, and y'know the luster kinda faded. But Couples Retreat actually has me pretty amped up. I dig Favreau as a writer more than a director, and this time around he's passing the reigns over to Peter Bilingsley. Yes, that Peter Billingsley. A Christmas Story Peter Billingsley. Red Rider BB Gun Peter Billingsley. He's actually become quite the successful producer but this is his first crack at a big time directing gig. Just check out the talent he's gathered up for this thing.

Pretty vicious, right? The trailer looks pretty good, and while not hysterically funny I see tons of potential in it. Check it out and let me know what you all think.
Couples Retreat is set to be released on October 9th, 2009.
