New movie list Wanderlust George (Rudd) and Linda (Aniston) are an overextended, stressed out Manhattan couple. After George is downsized out of his job, they find themselves with only one option: to move in with George's awful brother in Atlanta. On the way there, George and Linda stumble upon Elysium, an idyllic community populated by colorful characters who embrace a different way of looking at things. Money? It can't buy happiness. Careers? Who needs them? Clothes? Only if you want them. Is Elysium the fresh start George and Linda need? Or will the change of perspective cause more problems than it solves? -- (C) Universal Release Date Wanderlust Feb 24, 2012 Wide | |

Review For Wanderlust |
A random, tedious and tone-deaf comedy, a feeble recycling of every hippie commune cliche you've ever heard. Roger Moore-McClatchy-Tribune News Service
Trust me, this movie doesn't deliver on any level, high or low. Peter Rainer-Christian Science Monitor
It's hard to remember a comedy so populated with good character bits. Nick Pinkerton-Village Voice
A messy but occasionally very funny satirical comedy... David Denby-New Yorker
Rudd might not be the subtlest straight man in movies, but, as of this moment, he's the best. David Edelstein-New York Magazine
Being taken under Apatow's wing may have been a big career break for writer-director David Wain, but this lacks the sharp personality of some of his earlier movies. J. R. Jones-Chicago Reader
There's a lot to love in Wanderlust, but it's a film geared towards a very specific crowd. Jeremy Lebens-We Got This Covered
Even if Wanderlust is a bust, Rudd and Aniston will walk away from it with no repercussions as they both perform very well. Benjo Colautti-We Got This Covered
While everyone has their tastes and limits there must be a line when a film is so shameless in its lack of dignity and intellect and assumes the audience are just a bunch of rubes. Justin Craig-FoxNews.com
Better for having ambitions, but ironically less perfect for failing to live up to those ideals. William Bibbiani-CraveOnline
Wanderlust has a freewheeling, improvisational aesthetic that doles out enough solid jokes, even if it does so erratically. Mark Pfeiffer-Reel Times: Reflections on Cinema
probably looked much better on paper Kevin Carr-7M Pictures
Wanderlust takes its aim at some very broad targets so it's no wonder that the film's jokes tend to be blunt and obvious rather than rapier-sharp. Jason Best-Movie Talk
The parts are often funnier, and more memorable, than the whole, but there's enough here to keep David Wain fans smiling. R. L. Shaffer-IGN DVD
Usually avoids SNL skit-shtick and wacky-pothead parody, thanks to affectionate humour, sharp cuts and droll dialogue. Still, the story ultimately sides with the bland, loft-closeted couple and gets lazy with guy-gets-back-girl moments down the stretch. Brian Gibson-Vue Weekly (Edmonton, Canada)
...yet another in an increasingly long line of subpar comedies from producer Judd Apatow. David Nusair-Reel Film Reviews
... you probably won't see a funnier movie all year. Jim Lane-Sacramento News & Review
Consistently funny and outrageous, with a large, appealing cast whose apparent good time making the film is infectious. Eric Goldman-IGN Movies
Even before the maddeningly smug faux-bohemian denouement, we've turned off and tuned out. Bummer. Tara Brady-Irish Times
Too good-natured to dislike it, and in the same breath, too good-natured to have much depth. Tim Brayton-Antagony & Ecstasy
It is not the story but the ensemble cast that saves "Wanderlust" from being a mediocre comedy. Robin Clifford-Reeling Reviews
An unusually sharp script makes this silly comedy thoroughly enjoyable, even when it tips over the top. Rich Cline-Shadows on the Wall
The film is a humourless embarrassment, the cliche situations and flat dialogue decorated but not embellished by the envelope-pushing obscenity traditionally associated with its producer Judd Apatow. Philip French-Observer [UK]
Rudd and Aniston shine in Wanderlust. Charles Koplinski-Illinois Times
Director David Wain's experience is TV and this crude film seems more like a sitcom that probably won't be renewed. Tony Medley-tonymedley.com
