The humour seems to be aimed at the pre-teen market, while the frequent flashing of male and female 'naughty bits' is evidently an attempt to drag in curious adolescents who don't have access to proper porn. The comedic context was adequately established, with a (youngish) middle-aged couple pushed out of NY by the burden of an economic malaise that always falls on the most vulnerable and reluctant to submit to the insufferable arrogance of his nouveau-riche brother. They return to the commune they'd spent a night at on the journey down. The leads were played by probably the USA's most likeable couple, JA and PR. And they are supported by a cast that includes Alan Alda and JA's husband to be, Justin Theroux. So what could possibly go wrong? Well, as audiences are increasingly discovering, it's all in the script and this one, apart from isolated moments, does not come close to doing the film justice. Indeed PR's rehearsal in the mirror to get himself in the mood for infidelity is possibly the most pathetic movie scene I have ever witnessed, so far short is it of either being sexy or funny. Do they really think US audiences are stupid?

Oh Yes!! This little beauty makes us for many crappy films, yes indeed. Jennifer Aniston was wonderful, proved she can act (for the doubters), maintained her super sex-appeal throughout, fitted in perfectly with all the other characters in the flick. No one was a disappointment. Paul Rudd was ideally cast opposite her, and had many chances to shine. all of which he took advantage of. Alan Alda was priceless ~ whatta cool part he played!! The author guy with the minimal loin cloth was marvellously understated, a real gem in this whiz of a piece of entertainment. I feel like seeing this again right away, probably missed a few bits of business. A terrific movie to watch in a group or on your own. It had lots of twists & turns, took me by surprise often. This flick is a rare treat, not ofetn I rate anything over a 6. SEE IT !! Highly-recommended to everyone, other than party-poopers.

A naturally cute Paul Rudd and an artificially enhanced Jennifer Aniston star in "Wanderlust", a weak comedy by David Wain. The film finds Aniston and Rudd playing a pair of New Yorkers who attempt to escape the economic realities of contemporary United States by living on a commune. This commune is populated by an assortment of "quirky characters"."Wanderlust" is dull, generic and lazily written. Rudd is given the film's only funny moments, and the film's "happy ending" cops-out by endorsing the very ethos that pushed our heroes into ruin. A likable Alan Alda co-stars. See instead "Minister Lonely", "Le Chinoise" and Paul Mazursky's "Bob and Carol and Ted and Alice".6//10 – Worth one viewing.

George (Paul Rudd) and Linda (Jennifer Aniston) Gergenblatt are NY yuppies moving into their tiny expensive loft. Then George's workplace gets shut down by the Feds. Linda is thrown out of HBO for her ridiculous film. They have no choice but to sell their place and move to Atlanta to work for George's annoying brother Rick (Ken Marino). On the way, they stop off at Elysium where the place is filled with lefties weirdos.There is something wrong with Aniston as a rom-com lead. She's too mean unlikeably high maintenance. She has never come off as America's sweetheart. IMO she needs to do something different. Her best performance remains her lead role in 'The Good Girl'. This movie has a few odd performances with all the weirdos at the compound. It's meant to be funny but it just struck me as simply weird. The only comedy comes from Paul Rudd reacting to it all. There are just too many unlikeable elements in this. I don't like Ken Marino. I don't like the cheating storyline. I don't like Justin Theroux. And mostly I don't like Jennifer Aniston.
