'Wanderlust' starring Paul Rudd, Jennifer Aniston: movie review

'Wanderlust' journeys into nudist, free-love territory 鈥 among other things 鈥 and largely misses the mark on humor.

Paul Rudd and Jennifer Aniston are shown in a scene from 'Wanderlust.'

鈥淲anderlust鈥 is a flabbergastingly inane movie from the Judd Apatow mill. This may sound like a recommendation for those who expect nothing less (or more) from Team Apatow, but trust me, this movie doesn鈥檛 deliver on any level, high or low.

Jennifer Aniston and Paul Rudd play Linda and George, hapless New Yorkers who, hit by the economic downturn, drive to Atlanta where a job with a portable-toilet company, courtesy of George鈥檚 boorish brother, awaits. They get sidetracked at a hippie commune called Elysium, which seems to have been caught in a 1960s time warp. This movie is 鈥淔inian鈥檚 Rainbow鈥 for dunderheads. Rudd has a few amusing moments talking to himself in a mirror (he鈥檚 trying to convince himself he鈥檚 a stud) but he would have been better off talking himself out of this film. Grade:聽C- (Rated R for sexual content, graphic nudity, language, and drug use.)聽
