I was so surprised to come here and find this low score for Wanderlust. I just watched this 2012 movie and totally enjoyed it!

Is it silly? Yes. Is it farfetched? Perhaps. Is there crudeness? Definitely. But so what? This is a COMEDY, people! It's supposed to be silly. It's not a drama or a documentary. Besides that...it's rated "R," so it's an ADULT comedy. Not for kids. Obviously.

In the movie, the two stars (Jen Anniston and Paul Rudd, who play George and Linda) run into financial, along with employment trouble in the city and need to find a new place to live and make a "fresh start." So they head to Atlanta to crash with George's brother (a total jerk) and his wife.

On the way, they wander accidently into a hippie commune, thinking it's a hotel. That's where the craziness begins. Although, if you ask me...the movie starts off being funny right from the get-go! The whole relationship aspect of this couple; their grievances and squabbles, will probably be relatable in some way to most people...portrayed in a light humorous way, of course.

Yes, some of the characters are cliché and two dimensional. It doesn't matter. The movie works overall, since it has a very unique feel about it. And then there's Paul Rudd. No matter how you might feel about this guy in other movies, he definitely makes THIS movie work! He's engaging and funny, while Jennifer Anniston plays off him perfectly as his wife.

There are many issues the couple face at the commune...where they ultimately decide to stay, since being there (initially) makes them feel so joyous and free.

They have the "lack of privacy" issue for one (no bathroom door)?

Then there's going "vegan"...and the guy who traipses around nude all the time...and let's not forget the free love; the sharing of everything, including partners.

Oh. And then there's Seth...the sexy leader of the commune. It seems that George's wife definitely has a "thing" for him. And let's not forget Alan Alda...he's in the movie too, playing the likable old guy who owns the place.

There's a plot to this movie....a relationship you route for....and a very interesting ending. There's laughter and silliness along the way. What more could you ask for? Do I recommend this movie? I think the answer is obvious.

There are a lot of scenes in this movie that I laughed out loud at. Paul Rudd is incredible at creating very uncomfortably funny moments with his awkwardness. Key and Peele are also in this movie and both have some pretty funny roles. I don't understand the bad ratings for this because I found it to be a fun film to watch. They have some reoccurring jokes that hit just enough to not be overdone as well. Everyone did a good job acting as well.

Although this always play out in the eye of the beholder. I could imagine that some people could not relate or find anything funny in this, but I also read it in another guys review here. Just because this is R-rated, doesn't mean you're going to see a lot of the two main actresses (you will see a "bit" from one of the male leads though, even if it's not really his bit).

I on the other hand as you can tell by my rating did really like it. I know the story has more than its fair share of flaws, but it's a lot of fun to watch. If you can laugh at the jokes at hand that is of course. Paul Rudd is playing his usual sch-tick, but his "brother" is the real revelation. He's really funny and awkward! The morality of the whole thing is one dimensional, but you can overlook that, if you can laugh about the movie.
