Wanderlust (2012)
Strong sexual references, nudity and coarse language
| Director: | David Wain |
| Actors: | Paul Rudd, Jennifer Aniston, Justin Theroux, Alan Alda, Malin Akerman, Lauren Ambrose, Joe Lo Truglio, Kathryn Hahn, Ken Marino |
George (Paul Rudd) and Linda (Jennifer Aniston) are an overextended, stressed out Manhattan couple. After George is downsized out of his job, they find themselves with only one option - to move in with George's awful brother in Atlanta. On the way there, George and Linda stumble upon Elysium, an idyllic community populated by colourful characters who embrace a different way of looking at things. Money? It can't buy happiness. Careers? Who needs them? Clothes? Only if you want them. Is Elysium the fresh start George and Linda need? Or will the change of perspective cause more problems than it solves?

Very Very funny. A great romp. Anything with hippies and straight people getting high on mind altering drugs is always gunna cut it with me !

Interesting movie, i found it hard to rate this one because it seemed to go nowhere in the first 40mins or so, then towards the end it picked up and became quite amusing and relatable. Worth watching but not everyone will get it or be amused by it.

A funny movie with a great story line! The stars really make a predictable movie a great success.

I thought this movie was absolutely brilliant. It was so funny and the actors in it worked great together. It's cheeky and clever. Definitely a movie I would watch over and over again!

Very ordinary. Could have been better

Great movie for a good laugh. You'll love it if you love stoner humour.

Doesn't live up to the hype! I was very disappointed

Ordered by mistake and what a bad mistake, this is not comedy its total rubish, non existant plot and stupid humour. For someone who used to like Jennifer Anniston big disapointment. Never again
Lisa

Wasnt a bad movie but wasnt a great movie either - some funny bits and some strange bits in it. Based around a hippy community so its a bit quirky if you like that type of thing.
says
In the same way that any comedy with Vince Vaughn in it is generally rubbish; I think the same can be said of Jennifer Anniston. Next phase for her, career-wise, is surely the daytime soup, hair product commerical and then obscurity which, judging by this effort, will be a good thing for film buffs everywhere.

Quite funny though was expecting more from the "ads" but still enjoyed it and could relate to it, worth a watch
kate

very funny movie,very odd but refreshing to watch something different after all of the rubbish movies lately!
says
We did enjoy this movie, very different
says
I actually really enjoyed this film, Paul Rudd and Jennifer Aniston were good, as usual, but it was the supporting cast which made this really mad, mad but fun, not to mention Alan Alda, who had some very funny scenes. I really thought from the other reviews I wouldn't like this but it actually was very funny. Watch out for Aniston's movie pitch about Penguins at the beginning...."F*&k the Penguins"...lol

One of the oddest movies I have seen.
says
Disappointing!! Some great actors there but the script let them down. If you can watch till the end, you might find the outtakes amusing.

I was expecting much more from Jennifer Aniston & Paul Rudd as a comedy team, not really a 'bad' movie just more silly than funny and very ordinary.
Lisa
says
terrible movie. It was not funny, just really stupid and predictable. The actors must have been desperate to this movie - a shocker
says
Mildly amusing.
says
What a waste of time that we'll never get back!
A part from the large amount of unnecessary profanity, the plot was below average. Not sure who thought the crude bits were funny to have them in the movie.
Don't bother adding to your list, I'm sure you can find better movies to consider.

In a word - STUPID!! I like both Jennifer Aniston & Paul Rudd, but this one was way too off base even for them. It lingered way too long on the crude bits & the rest was just unfunny & boring. Don't bother
LJB
says
SO SO COMEDY
Emma
says
ordinary movie - not funny, lame storyline.
says
A sort of silly comedy. A few funny moments, but generally nothing new to say.
Kim
says
Not mind blowing but a fun and entertaining movie
Matthew B.
says
Good fun with the very likable Jennifer Aniston and Paul Rudd and some funny cameos. JA is at her best in this.
Peta
says
Some parts were funny but a little bit weird and some parts were pretty boring
Cheryl
says
Light-hearted fun, but a bit silly.
JF
says
OK. Yeah. *smiley face* (all in that knowing, I can relate to this... idealism vs reality way). Enjoyed. It's lovely. I recommend it for sure:)
Mike
says
Such a good funny movie good to escape with.

wasnt bad, wasnt great. made me laugh a little here and there. cindy said it best - "lewd, crude and veering erratically between being hilarious and utterly cringeworthy"
dont watch with youngens, bit of nudity & drugs.
(dont get the washington twist lol. they should of let us in on that as it was emphasized at the end )
Locie
says
Wow... what a boring movie!
Cindy
says
A typical David Wain outing - lewd, crude and veering erratically between being hilarious and utterly cringeworthy. The storyline is so slight as to be almost beside the point - the emphasis here is on gags and being gross. Worth a watch if you enjoyed the director's previous films like Role Models and Wet Hot American Summer. If you didn't, best to avoid this one like the plague.

Was looking forward to watching this ..... struggled to see it to the end predictable and boring
Suzie
says
Very disapointed with this film. Cringeworthy.
alice
says
Very funny, not an amazing storyline but a good easy-viewing comedy film. Definitely not one to watch with the kids as there is frequent nudity and heavy sexual themes. We really enjoyed it, laugh a minute.
t rex
says
this was really uncomfortably unfunny to watch at some points. I actually felt embarrassed for Paul Rudd.. cringe-worthy bad script moments for him.
Larry
says
Very dull comedy, a few laughs but overall fairly boring, especially the parts in the Hippy Commune!
