Wanderlust








Watched this one recently. I don't have too much to say about it except.....it was all right.

Paul Rudd and Jennifer Aniston lose their jobs in New York City and have to go live Rudd's brother. And on the way there, they spend the night at a bed & breakfast called Elysium, which is a free love, hippy community, and they fall in love with it. They decide to stay and it turns out to be not what they expect. Sort of. Without giving anything away, Rudd and Aniston's marriage experience some troubled waters.

Wanderlust has a little bit of good and a little bit of bad. It's rated R so there is a lot of adult type of awkward situations which makes for some great comedy. Paul Rudd is always hilarious and it's a original story. However, the storyline of the movie goes from great to.....eh. The first half of the movie is hilarious. But I am not a fan of the second half of the movie. There are some parts of the story that just don't need to be there. And I wasn't a huge fan of the ending. I think they could have written it a different way and still had the same result. Watch the movie and you'll know what I'm talking about.

Overall, Wanderlust is good, but not great. It's definitely funny and some outrageous parts. But story wise, I was not impressed. But it's still good for some laughs and it did entertain me. So I guess I can't be too disappointed. Yes indeed.
