Malin Akerman has praised her latest movie Couples Retreat as being more realistic than other movies based on relationships.
Akerman is part of an all star cast of Vince Vaughn, Kristen Bell, Jason Bateman and Jon Favreau in the latest comedy which centres around four couples who settle into a tropical-island resort for a vacation.
While one of the couples is there to work on the marriage, the others fail to realize that participation in the resort's therapy sessions is not optional.
In an interview with Parade the actress said: "The one thing that drew me to the script from the beginning was that it was about couples and real relationships, which you don't usually see in movies.
"Usually, it's the guys' club, or you have all the women together, like in Sex And The City."
She added: "I know people are always fascinated with Hollywood relationships where there does seem to be a lot of brief encounters.
"You see stars who get married two weeks after they meet, which, of course, is going to end up most likely in a divorce. I'd say maybe 2% of the time you'll end up having a fabulous, long-lived relationship. So you have to be careful and not just fall into something."
The movie has found major success in America topping the box office.
Couples Retreat is released 16th October.
