Sácame del paraíso

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.

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.

Not the usual rom-com formula you'd expect from the leads, which might explain the poor reviews here. This starts with great promise as a satire of American society - epitomized by the wonderfully crass, materialistic brother - with some great laugh-out loud moments as the American dream goes wrong for Judd and Aniston. The humour is often off-beat and at times anarchic, such as when the horse appears in the couple's doorless room at the commune. Ultimately though, it just wants to poke fun at everyone and loses the plot, ending up as the formulaic rom-com it promised not to be. You really get the feeling this is an intelligent script put through the studio wringer. Judd's mirror scene is a weird low point, proving that improvisational riffing is often just a self-indulgent waste of screen time. If full-frontal male nudity (one of the commune's main characters is a perpetual nudist) and off-beat attempts at satire offend, you won't like this, but there are good laughs to outweigh the flaws.

I can see why this is getting so much hate, it's definitely a tad vulgar and will offend the most sensitive, but hell i'd be lying if i don't say i laughed quite consistently.

The tale of a new york couple that struggles with money and failure and finds themselves in a small hippie commune it's simple but heartfelt, Paul and Jennifer are quite good in this and move from serious to awkward with ease, being in my late 30's i could relate with their dilemma since i'm living through a similar f****d up system and the desire to leave everything behind.

It's a comedy for adults so i didn't mind the more uncomfortable bits, there's a lot of nudity (sorry, no Paul or Jen, only ugly folks), I can't recommend it without reservations but I've had a good time.

My room mates watched this flick, told me it was worth a watch but nothing special.

Full disclosure: I am a huge David Wain fan, I loved Stella, I watch Wainy Days, etc.

This movie is about two city types who have a run of bad luck, end up at hippie commune. Funny stuff ensues.

Not an original concept by any means but comedic none the less. Purely hilarious cast sans Paul Rudd, I'm not a huge fan but I understand why people do.

To the guy saying "its unrealistic": Hi, I'm movies. Have you ever seen me before? Bottom Line: If you liked The State, Stella, Michael & Michael Have Issues, Children's Hospital, or the like. You will more than likely enjoy this movie.

7 out of 10.
