5.0 out of 5 stars People know this movie is rated "R"... right? June 30, 2012
Format:Blu-ray
I'm looking at all of the negative reviews on here and 90% of them are based on the graphic nature of the film and the fact that it's not for younger audiences... DUH!

The film is rated "R", meaning anyone under 17 needs to be accompanied by an adult to see it in theaters or to purchase it in the store. If you don't want to watch a hilarious movie with shocking obscenity and nudity, go watch something else.

I personally think "Wanderlust" is the perfect film for anyone who's questioned their life's path and I think the movie has some wonderfully understated moral themes about individuality versus group identity.

Jennifer Aniston, Justin Theroux and Paul Rudd are all at their best while they're working together. It's also fun to see three giant movie stars doing a film that was not a sure-fire blockbuster guarantee.

I say, if you're not a prude, see this film; If you are, go see another crappy remake of a fairy-tale or a movie about harmless vampires falling in love.

5.0 out of 5 stars Hysterical June 21, 2012
Format:DVD
This film was not marketed at all, and so almost everyone missed it. This is a damn shame because it's the funniest movie I've seen in a while. While it's not as smart or original as Role Models, Wanderlust is probably funnier on a joke-by-joke basis. When David Wain is at his best, his humor comes not at the expense of the characters, but because they're so fun to watch. Wain is at his best here, and anyone who's ever enjoyed any of his stuff needs to own this DVD.

4.0 out of 5 stars A very funny film but not for the prudish! March 4, 2012
Format:Blu-ray
I was reading snippets from numerous critics about this movie after watching it and I was surprised to find several panning it because it wasn't funny. I get the fact that some people could be offended by the language, "sexy talk" and plenty-o-nudity but not funny? Then I remembered how much I hated "Tim and Eric's Billion Dollar Movie."

As I think back a few hours about this movie I would argue that it might be just another comedy if not for the brilliance and comedic genius of Paul Rudd. Yes, Jennifer Aniston seems to get more beautiful as she gets older and yes, she has her moments (including one involving pixilated boobs) but this is Rudd's movie. He plays George and is married to Linda (Aniston). They live in New York City. After several unsuccessful career moves, Linda makes a pitch to HBO to show a documentary she produced about testicular cancer in penguins. Pretty funny concept right there. She's turned down.

George is a successful business executive in the financial sector. As the CEO of his firm is perp-walked away in handcuffs for some form of SEC malfeasance, George loses his job. All of this comes the day after they movie into their brand new micro-loft studio apartment. In route to Atlanta in their aging Honda, where George's brother Rick (co-writer Ken Marino) has promised a job, they stumble upon a bed and breakfast where they hope to stay for the night. Located in northern Georgia, it is actually a commune community where characters of all stripes are in residence. In spite of their differences, George and Linda enjoy their stay but must move on to Atlanta.

After a night or two in Rick and Marisa's (Michaela Watkins) suburban home, they've had enough (Rick is an A-hole and Marisa is always drunk or drugged) and head back to the commune. While, the comedy is a bit uneven at times, Rudd manages to rescue every scene he's in. In one of the funniest bits I've ever seen, George readies himself for a sexual liaison with Eva (Malin Akerman). Even with his wife's blessing, George has second thoughts so tries to pump himself up in front of a mirror. He goes through several minutes of clearly unscripted riffs about how he's going to perform. Using one clichéd macho term after another, I couldn't stop laughing. It continues when he gets to the bedroom and actually confronts Eva. He promises what she is going to experience which goes on until she is no longer interested. I imagine this scene took forever to shoot and how Akerman kept a straight face is amazing itself.

This movie is not for the prudish. It includes full frontal nudity, some of which you really don't want to see (aging nudists running!), crude banter (sexual and otherwise) and some disgusting remnants of childbirth. This is a very funny film.
