I had never heard of this movie before and only picked it up because Jennifer Aniston is it and generally I enjoy all her films. This is a quirky tale for sure but a lot of fun. Lots of crazy characters all around and some pretty big names in the acting business. I think the characters really make this film what it is. My only problem with this film is the scene near the end where George and Linda make up and kiss - and the crowd starts cheering and clapping.. Seriously? How many times does that scene have to be in a movie before they realize after the first 10000 times,, IT'S BEEN DONE ALREADY... wow,. Other than that a fun film, fun characters, funny story.

I usually don't bother to warn others against truly bad pieces of Hollywood sharp practice like "Wanderlust", but this time I'll make an exception.Essentially, this is what it all boils down to:* Women don't want to work, but want to be "provided for" by men (whose job, according to Apatow and Co., is to support these fickle, ungrateful women).* Hippies are old, stupid and ugly, and vegetarians secretly crave animal flesh.* Don't ever stray too far from Breederville, you'll only find *icky, weird, liberal people out there!*I should have known better than to waste my time on this, but I like most of the cast (in other things).PSA to film lovers: Avoid At All Costs

What initially made me pick up this movie, aside from the price of $2, was the fact that Paul Rudd starred in it.The story is about George (played by Paul Rudd) and Linda (played by Jennifer Aniston) who live stressful Manhattan lives. When their World comes crashing down they decide to go to Atlanta, but they stumble upon a free-spirited community named Elysium along the way, and their eyes are opened up to a whole different way of living.While listed as a comedy, it is not the kind of comedy that will have you in tears from laughing. Instead it is a comedy that will put a great sensation in you and make you feel good.The characters in the movie are detailed, colorful and memorable, and they are well-portrayed by the actors and actresses. Especially Paul Rudd performance quite well in this movie. And the Elysium community had a very realistic and believable vibe to it."Wanderlust" might very well be an overlooked and underrated movie. I was genuinely entertained by it, and i was pleasantly surprised with the wholeness of the movie. "Wanderlust" is well-worth watching, so take a seat at the Elysium community and get comfortable. Don't worry about the door, because there isn't any.

Wanderlust (2012): Dir: David Wain / Cast: Paul Rudd, Jennifer Aniston, Justin Theroux, Malin Akerman, Lauren Ambrose: Director David Wain seems willing to dabble in forbidden vulgarity, as seen in the wretched Role Models. Now he has dived into a project of equal depravity but the difference is the concept is much more curious. It regards the forbidden fruit within a hippie community that a financially struggling city couple happens upon one evening after several hours of driving. Paul Rudd and Jennifer Aniston are jobless yet find certain freedom with these people. They are nudists who live off the land and do not believe in closed doors. They also do not believe in the sacredness of marriage because they encourage sexual freedom. This troubles Rudd whose interest in the place is tainted after he learns that his wife had sex with the doped out leader. After the initial concept passes, the film becomes bent on shocking viewers with constant nudity including a slow motion shot of several overweight and elderly folks running towards the camera. It is strange that when Aniston pulls her top off, viewers are greeted with a fuzzy censor. It is rather insulting that she is censored yet any scene that is off putting is exploited. Rudd and Aniston survive the pornographic charade but Justin Theroux as the hippie leader is way too obvious in his intentions. Malin Akerman steals scenes as a sexually loose female who offers herself to Rudd without hesitation. Other characters are about as plain as the clothing they strip off. Strangely enough these communities do exist and are a great subject for comedy despite its willingness to tease our lust. Score: 6 ½ / 10
