Konterr Brilliant and touching
Senteur As somebody who had not heard any of this before, it became a curious phenomenon to sit and watch a film and slowly have the realities begin to click into place.
Griff Lees Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.
The Couchpotatoes After reading some bad reviews I come to the conclusion there are a lot of bitter people. People that I would not like to be around. Humorless people with only one goal in their life and that is bitching and complaining. Wanderlust is one of those movies that will always bring a smile on my face. Not a shy smile like with some other comedies, but big laughter, certainly with some hilarious scenes. Especially the one where Paul Rudd is getting ready to get late in front of a mirror. Sometimes with my wife we actually play that scene over. It's one of those scenes you will never forget and that says enough about this comedy. Wanderlust has a good cast, an original story, but most of all it has a lot of funny moments. And that's what it is all about when you watch a lighthearted comedy.
Python Hyena 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
tieman64 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.
ty_lattimore2007 Wanderlust is one of the funniest Jennifer Anniston movies ever! I was a bit skeptical because I seldom find her films that funny besides "The Break Up.""Object of My Affection" was pretty good too. This was by far one of her best films. Paul Rudd(George) and Jennifer(Linda) work well together. The heavy lifting is done mostly by the supporting cast. Ken Marino as George's successful brother was a riot. George's wife played by Michaela Watkins, was killing me with her one liners. If you want to laugh hard then this film is it. Justin Theroux as Seth was priceless. The hippie commune is just like a mental hospital run by patients. Malin Åkerman as Eva was hysterical too.
