I don't typically go to the move theater to see comedies. The "Big Screen" to me is for action/adventure, scifi or anything that looks good on that scale of screen! It was the Fall, however, and decided to give this movie a chance.

Wanderlust is about a couple played by Jennifer Aniston(Linda) and Paul Rudd(George), who buy their dream home, which is a toaster oven to you and I only to be laid off shortly after. Of course in a comedy, no other choices to be made then to move in with George's brother in the South. On their way, they stumble upon a commune called, Elysium. From this point, I'm going to say that the film becomes filled with bizarre scenes that are meant to shock and amuse the audience. In some way they do, and some are just plain ridiculous! I will give credit, however, to the stampeding nudists. In fact, I might just have to purchase the DVD just for this scene! Otherwise, its a just like any comedy that pieces odd scenes together. The writing is poor and the acting overt!

I believe that a comedy can be made that is intelligent and funny at the same time. Unfortunately, most of the time, we see a series of weird scenes with a base storyline. Wanderlust falls into this category.
