I don't have all the words right now but this film is a work of art.
Absolutely Fantastic
Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.
The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.
I love Jennifer Aniston and Paul Rudd, but even they couldn't make this film enjoyable. I hate sounding like an old fart (I'm 37) but comedies are just not what they used to be! I remember laughing so hard at "The Money Pit" that I could barely catch my breath and my stomach hurt. Comedies used to be amazing. I don't think "Wanderlust" even got a chuckle out of me. It seems like comedies for some time now try to use shock tactics, and rambling ridiculous dialogue, strange facial expressions, and pure raunch to get laughs from the audience. I don't find it the least bit amusing. In fact it's so disappointing to think that the best of comedies are behind us and never to be seen again. I thought with "Bridesmaids" old school comedy would be making a comeback but unfortunately there were a lot of modern tactics mentioned above in that film as well. It had good moments of comedy, but it was also dredged in absurdity. I'll just keep hoping that real comedy finds its way back to the audiences that love it. In the mean time based on many of these reviews many veiwers seem happy enough with the crap they spew out to us.
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.
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.
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.
