Locura en el paraíso

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.

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 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.

Yes, there were a couple good laughs to be had during this movie. But for the most part, it was just weird. Even some of the funny scenes went on too long and got to be awkward. The "story" (if you can call it that) was predictable. The jokes were not, because they were so outlandish that they came across as gimmicky.

Not that a movie like this requires great acting skills, but the roles played by Rudd, Aniston and Watkins are at least believable. But the credibility stops there. Most of the other characters are over-acted, and poorly-developed.

And one of my biggest pet peeves: scenes from the trailer were NOT in the film. THIS DRIVES ME MAD! It's like a restaurant advertising a lunch special that they don't have in stock.

Bottom line: save your movie, and save your time.

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.
