Vaughn, Favreau reunite in comedy

Movie: "Couples Retreat"

When: Opening Friday at local theaters

Cast: Vince Vaughn, Jason Bateman, Jon Favreau, Faizon Love, Malin Akerman, Kristen Bell, Kristin Davis

Director: Peter Billingsley

The story: Four couples vacation at a tropical resort — but three of them balk at participating in the resort’s couples therapy sessions.

The buzz: "Swingers" co-stars Vaughn and Favreau reunite for this comedy filmed on the Tahitian island of Bora Bora. But another key member of the Vaughn posse turns up off-screen: director Billingsley, who has been best buds with Vaughn since the two co-starred in an "Afterschool Special" way back when. Billingsley executive-produced Vaughn’s "Four Christmases" and "The Break-Up" and is a part of Vaughn’s Wild West Show Productions — which seems appropriate, considering Billingsley’s affinity for a Red Ryder BB gun like little Ralphie in the 1983 holiday classic "A Christmas Story."
