Vaughn: 'Retreat' is different rom-com'

Couples Retreat star Vince Vaughn has said that the forthcoming movie differs from other rom-coms.

The Break-Up actor, who reunited with Swingers writer Jon Favreau to pen the project, claimed that its focus on couples rather than a set relationship is what makes it unique.

Vaughn told The Jay Leno Show: "I've always done some writing on the movies that I've done, though this was the first time I took credit for it. But Jon Favreau wrote the first draft, it was an idea that I had. This I thought was fun because it is about couples, not just about a relationship.

"It's about the girl, the group you hang out with and all that dynamic... The expression 'Happily in marriage', which I think can exist together, that's sort of the point of the movie."

The film, about four couples who go on vacation together, is set on the tropical island of Bora Bora. "I think the line that Favreau wrote in the movie is, 'This place looks like a screensaver', which is true. The place is beautiful," Vaughn added.

Couples Retreat is out in the UK on October 16 and in the US on October 9.
