Wanderlust (2012)

Why so much hype?

The movie is wonderful and true, an act of love in all its contradictions and complexity

It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

I didn’t really have many expectations going into the movie (good or bad), but I actually really enjoyed it. I really liked the characters and the banter between them.

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.

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.

I despise pretty much everything with the Apatow stamp on, so I watched this movie only because it was a lazy Saturday evening, nothing much to do and no idea Apatow had any part in it. It started almost OK, with likable couple Aniston- Rudd going broke in New York.Forced to move to Atlanta and share the house of the Rudd's character obnoxious brother, our couple stumble into a hippie community, with more or less hilarious developments. Should be a pretty innocuous comedy, but it is ruined by the following:both Rudd and Aniston are way too old to play a "young couple". In 2012 they were both 43 but in the movie they are playing at least 10 years younger. Indecision and confusion may be appealing in youth, but are sort of pathetic in characters over 40.the brother character. I totally hated him and his performance, although it seemed to have been appreciated by many. Perhaps that sort of humour does not translate in other cultures, perhaps "obnoxious" is just not funny in my bookthe crass vulgarity of modern society. This is not an Apatow fault "per se", but he is certainly very good when it comes to show the worst of the American middle-upper class. In fact, he is so good that he carries things too far - just watch the uncomfortable scene of Paul Rudd shouting obscenities at the mirror. It drags on for what seems forever, it is excessive, it stupid, but most of all, it is not funny at all.This pretty much summaries every Apatow endeavor: filled with crass obscenities, vulgar, repetitive, unfunny and a sad reminder of modern American society.P.S. Apatow is the producer

I was just at the page of Paul Rudd to see which movies of him I haven't watched yet. And then i saw this movie. I was like: "Paul Rudd and Jennifer Aniston together in a comedy movie. I must watch this one:)"The movie tells the Story of a couple who has a financial problem since the man has lost his job and they have made a wrong Investment. What they do to deal with this problem is being told in a funny and romantic way. The couple Encounter a "weird" Society that lives in some place like a village. The ppl of this Society are isolated from the world. They have their own unic style, their way of Entertainment and their own rules. When the couple Encounters this Society, they find it very interesting and decide to be a part of it. After they start living with this Society, they understand that this scoiety has also some cons. The question is if they can continue living with this society despite the cons. The cons, which could be devastating for the ordinary*(the ones outside of this community) ppl.I laughed a lot during the movie because of the weird Features of this community and the funny reactions of Paul Rudd :) I highly recommend this movie if you wanna laugh and get away from the ordinary daily life.
