Stuart Greif There is nothing funny in this turd of a movie. I watched it only because Jennifer Aniston is in it. I knew Paul Rudd was a jerk, but I hadn't realized just much of one he is. As a grad student at Berkeley in the 60's, I learned to loathe physically dirty, lazy, anarchic, and phony Hippies. Times this contempt by a factor of ten, and you get my attitude to Hollywood resurrected hairy Hippies. I yelled a racist epithet when I heard the following: " When the belly swells, the titties swell." (Disgusting!), I stopped watching at this point and opened a window. Thank God, I saw it free on SKY.
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.
Prismark10 Paul Rudd is a financial executive who has been fired just a few weeks after he purchased micro loft in New York. Jennifer Aniston plays his wife who wants to make a documentary on the sex lives of penguins.They head out down south to work for Rudd's obnoxious brother but cannot stand being with him and end up in a hippie commune called Elysium whose figurehead is Alan Alda.As the tile implies in the commune which has a lot of nudity both male and female, no doors and talk of free love the couple decide to find themselves, away from the rat race. Justin Theroux has designs on Aniston and may also have designs on money offered by developers who want Elysium.Rudd has the hotels for Malin Akerman and also wants to get back on his financial feet leading to a clash between him and Aniston.The film is not laugh out funny but is edgy enough, some nice characters in the commune although some are eccentric and Theroux is obviously a shifty one. Some of the plot is rather predictable and it is unashamedly aimed at an adult audience.Its also good to see Alda playing a nice guy for a change after a run of oily unlikeable characters.
SnoopyStyle 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.
