Wanderlust (2012) 7/10

Starring : Paul Rudd, Jennifer Aniston, Justin Theroux, Malin Akerman, Kathryn Hahn, Alan Alda
Director : David Wain
Running Time : 98 mins

When George Gergenblatt (Rudd) is fired from his financial firm, and his wife Linda (Aniston) fails to sell her penguin documentary, they are forced to move out of their New York ‘micro-loft’ and find alternative accommodation. What they come across is an idyllic community called Elysium where everyone shares everything and the only rule is to tell the truth and be yourself.

This is a fun movie that might be thin on plot but is filled with silliness. What could potentially have just been a series of sketches is linked together into a single whole, and connected together by a storyline about the commune being taken away by the government. In spite of having a plot similar to the recent Yogi Bear movie, this is still a good movie that will make almost everyone smile.
