Critics are a bit grossed out by the raunchy comedy but still charmed by leading man Paul Rudd. By Kara Warner Paul Rud and Jennifer Aniston in “Wanderlust” Photo: Universal Fans of the big-screen pairing of Jennifer Aniston and Paul Rudd have likely been waiting for the two likable actors to reunite since their 1998 romantic dramedy “The Object of My Affection.” At long last, that wait is over with the release of “Wanderlust,” a comedy in which Aniston and Rudd play a stressed-out Manhattan couple who end up traveling through a hippie-ish community that teaches them a lesson or two about what’s really important in life. The critical response is at 55 percent “Fresh” over at Rotten Tomatoes , with some folks enjoying the awkward humor and unflappable charm of Paul Rudd and others having issues with Rudd and Aniston’s schtick. Read on as we frolic through the “Wanderlust” reviews! The Irresistible Charm of Paul Rudd “Paul Rudd is the best friend a movie comedy can have. He always delivers the goods and something extra, usually something wild and weirdly wonderful. In ‘Wanderlust,’ Rudd lets the funny fly. Like the movie he’s in, Rudd only seems normal. Inside, it’s all deliriously unhinged. Rudd plays George, an uptight Wall Street suit squeezed into a Manhattan micro-loft with his documentarian wife Linda (Jennifer Aniston) until the recession shuts them both down. Off they go to Georgia where his idiot brother (Ken Marino, the film’s co-writer) offers him a job in his porta-potty business. Unacceptable. So George and Linda take shelter in Elysium, a commune where craziness reigns along with pot, acid, dodgy hygiene and free love. When the luscious Eva (Malin Akerman) offers to get it on with him, George unravels his straight laces. Here comes the Rudd time capsule moment: In a mirror, George rehearses talking dirty to Eva, taking the word ‘dick’ and stretching it into syllables of near-pornographic hilarity. It helps that Rudd is once again working with director and co-writer David Wain, as he did in ‘Role Models’ and the immortal 2001 indie ‘Wet Hot American Summer.’ ” — Peter Travers, Rolling Stone The Comedy and Quirk Factors “In sophisticated comedy, what’s funny is the tension between proper manners and the nasty or sexy subtext. Whereas in low comedy, there are no manners, and the nasty or sexy subtext is right there on the surface. And then there’s ‘Wanderlust,’ in which the subtext is blasted through megaphones — the characters say so insanely much you want to scream. The satire is as broad as a battleship and equally bombarding. But it takes guts to do a comedy this big without gross-out slapstick, and the writers and the actors are all in. … You say it sounds like a bunch of stereotypes — and 40-year-old stereotypes? The defense concedes the point. It’s not fresh terrain. But this tribe of hippies is also a tribe of marvelously inventive comic actors doing a fair amount of inspired improvisation and grooving on the mindset.” — David Edelstein, NPR The Final Word, Pro-Con-Pro Style “The role of an uptight fish out of water is what Rudd was born for, and he plays George with the congeniality and improvisatorial brio for which he’s become deservedly famous. He and Theroux, who’s barely recognizable beneath a thatch of long hair and a beard, deliver the most well-earned laughs in ‘Wanderlust,’ which otherwise traffics in tired jokes about menstrual cycles, placenta soup and rubbing your fingers together instead of clapping. … Between this film and last summer’s ‘Horrible Bosses,’ Aniston’s coyness — starring in explicit movies without having to be explicit herself — seems to be becoming her stock in trade. It’s not a particularly commendable one, and ‘Wanderlust’ does little to disprove that she’s still a star more suited to TV rather than the big screen. As for Rudd, he still has charm to burn, even playing a type he’s long since outgrown. Like George observing the overgrown children of Elysium, it might be time for Rudd to move on.” — Ann Hornaday, The Washington Post “The production has all the style and subtlety — and, admittedly, the exuberance — of TV sketch material. A psychedelic sequence makes Madonna’s halftime show look like high art. Both the straight and hippie realms are populated by parallel groups of fevered eccentrics; the cast includes Mr. Marino, Justin Theroux, Malin Akerman, Joe Lo Truglio, Kathryn Hahn, Kerri Kenney, Lauren Ambrose and Linda Lavin. Alan Alda is the commune’s venerable founder, Carvin, whose brain long ago failed the acid test. ‘Wanderlust’ is nothing if not strenuous, strident and gross, and most of it fails the comedy test.” — Joe Morgenstern, Wall Street Journal “There are so many things to feel guilty about liking in the pure and prurient guilty pleasure that is ‘Wanderlust.’ Starring Paul Rudd and Jennifer Aniston, this is a comedy of no manners about finding your bliss and escaping the modern grind. The laughter is served up naughty and nice, and frequently au naturel, earning it an R rating when perhaps RR (really raunchy) would have been more appropriate. Appropriateness, however, has pretty much been jettisoned by the filmmakers, who have opted instead for the good-fun-found-in-bad-taste tradition of ‘The Hangover.’ Directed by David Wain and co-written with his frequent comic collaborator, Ken Marino, the film is, overall, a very wobbly affair starting with all the dangling naked body parts that greet George (Rudd) and Linda (Aniston) when the couple pulls into a free-love commune they mistake for a B&B.” — Betsy Sharkey, Los Angeles Times Check out everything we’ve got on “Wanderlust.” For breaking news, celebrity columns, humor and more — updated around the clock — visit MTVMoviesBlog.com .

Our Skin Skout attended the press screening of Wanderlust last night, and as predicted Jennifer Aniston ‘s topless scene was nowhere to be found. And to add insult to non-nude injury, the lesbian foursome scene featured in the red-band trailer has been cut from the movie entirely. Malin Akerman doesn’t even get naked, and she’s Swedish for God’s sake! The movie isn’t entirely skin-free, though: anonymous flower children lose their tops for a nighttime skinny-dipping scene 21 minutes in, and again for a group meeting at the commune 1 hour, 24 minutes in. We also get some full-frontal from those uncredited hippie chicks when they chase a fellow commune-goer through the grounds, but honestly our hearts just aren’t in it anymore. Looks like Wanderlust is a Wander-bust. Catch up with the greatest tits- uh, hits – of Malin Akerman and Jennifer Aniston right here at MrSkin.com!
The title of David Wain’s latest directorial effort suggests more direction than its urbanite couple George (Paul Rudd) and Linda (Jennifer Aniston) really have. ” Wanderlust ” indicates feeling an urge to seek out new pastures, but when the pair end up on the road it’s only because they’ve been forced there, unemployment sending them plummeting out of their Manhattan lifestyle like satellites knocked from their orbits. George works in an office and Linda has so far just bounced from whim to whim — her most recent unsuccessful venture is a documentary about penguins with cancer — and the two have scraped together the cash to buy what their real-estate agent euphemistically calls a “microloft” in the West Village. They can’t sell the tiny apartment, and they can’t afford to keep it when George loses his job and HBO turns down Linda’s film for being depressing (and not sexy depressing), and so they end up slinking down to Atlanta in defeat to stay with George’s bullying brother (Ken Marino) and stumbling across bed and breakfast/commune Elysium on the way. When you try your hardest to carve out a life for yourself somewhere, only to abruptly end up with nothing to show for it years later, the desire to just drop out of the whole race makes a lot more sense. Wanderlust is an agreeable comedy that peters out halfway through, but it presents a believable case for why two people with no innate hippie impulses would become infatuated with and join life in a rural collective or, as its charismatic leader Seth (Justin Theroux) insists on calling it, an “intentional community.” Wain’s film, which he wrote with Marino, presents a pair of dimensional, empathetically drawn characters in George and Linda, two people who when finally made to take time for introspection realize how many grievances and unhappinesses they’ve been burying inside themselves. None of the other characters are close to as fully realized, whether they be patchouli-wafting free-love advocates or depressed, alcoholic suburban housewives, and the film tends to abruptly downshift whenever its focus moves from George and Linda to something else, like a late, perfunctory plotline in which Elysium is threatened by local developers who want to bulldoze it in order to build a casino. It’s funny and sweet when it’s about a couple trying to figure out their place in the world, and for the most part broad and too easy when looking for laughs in Elysium’s day-to-day philosophy. As a director, Wain has earned his place on the cult comedy pantheon with 2001’s Wet Hot American Summer , which built a following after bellyflopping into theaters over a decade ago. Wanderlust is more standard issue than that one, lacking its abrasive elements but also seeming unlikely to improve with repeated viewings. It’s initially George’s idea to return to Elysium and give life there a two-week test drive, but it’s Linda who really takes to it, and the midsection of the film is episodic and hit-or-miss as Linda embraces life as a poncho-wearing flower child and catches Seth’s eye while George grows disillusioned with truth circles and sharing everything. Some of the scenes — a hallucinogenic trip on ayahuasca tea or strategic displays of wine-making nudist Wayne’s (Joe Lo Truglio) prodigious penis — are funny, but others, including many with Theroux’s bloviating New Age guru whose knowledge of the outside world drops off after the ’90s, fall flat. Wanderlust ‘s comedic interest in Elysium and its inhabitants seems to go as far as George’s attachment to the place. It’s great to visit, but it’s not long before you want to leave. Wanderlust has the ease of a film that’s reuniting people who’ve worked together before: Besides the presence of aforementioned The State alums Lo Truglio and Marino, it also has Kerri Kenney-Silver as flaky Elysium matriarch Kathy and small appearances from Michael Showalter and Michael Ian Black, who form a mini Stella reunion with Wain as news anchors whose banter is less than TV-appropriate. Rudd and Aniston, who co-starred in 1998’s The Object of My Affection and shared the small screen on Friends , also have a comfortable chemistry, seeming feasibly like two people who love each other but who’ve never before had to subject their relationship to any kind of stress test. Rudd’s particularly good when playing someone aware of but unable to remedy how out of his element he is — in the midst of a hilariously glazed-eyed high, he plays the didgeridoo and bonds with fellow pot-smoker Rodney (Jordan Peele) and his pregnant girlfriend Almond (Lauren Ambrose), but in the bright light of day has trouble dealing with his inability to fit in. He has a guitar duel with Seth over who’s better at playing “Two Princes,” he can’t poop when everyone keeps coming into the doorless bathroom to talk to him, and he’s unsure how to deal with the open- relationship advances of Eva (Malin Akerman) — “No way!” he responds when she describes her particular bedroom skill. It’s Rudd who provides the tenuous through-line that holds together this scattered ramble of a film, by realizing that there’s a middle ground between high-rise living and a cooperative farm, and that it’s where most people end up.
‘Wanderlust’ co-star Paul Rudd also rules out a ‘Clueless’ sequel during ‘MTV First.’ By John Mitchell, with reporting by Josh Horowitz Jennifer Aniston and Paul Rudd Photo: MTV News “Friends” fanatics hoping for a reunion of the beloved sitcom will be crying into their oversized Central Perk coffee cups when they hear what Jennifer Aniston has to say about the possibility of seeing Rachel, Ross, Phoebe, Monica, Chandler and Joey back together again. Aniston joined her “Wanderlust” co-star Paul Rudd for “MTV First” to take Twitter questions from fans — one of whom happened to be film critic and entertainment journalist Ben Lyons, who got a little ribbing from the two stars as well as MTV News” Josh Horowitz for not asking the question himself, before the team got to his question: “What will we see first? A “Clueless” or “Friends” reunion?” The actress” reaction was slightly flustered but swift. “No, there will be none,” she said. “I don’t think so. … Wouldn’t that be weird? I would be like, “Oh god, why did they do that?” ” Rudd also answered in the negative regarding a reunion of the beloved “90s teen flick, crushing the hearts of fans who may be wondering what became of Cher (Alicia Silverstone) and Josh’s (Rudd) relationship. “Well, you know, “Clueless” was “Emma,” ” Rudd said of the movie’s literary inspiration, which had no sequel. “So I don’t know what you”d do.” The comely pair also told MTV News that they wouldn’t be a good fit for the commune lifestyle their “Wanderlust” characters are thrust into in the film, which hits theaters Friday. “I don’t think I could exist realistically in that kind of setting,” Aniston told MTV News. “But there’s a version of that groups of friends in close proximity [and] in my early 20s, I had that. Where you kind of showed up at each other’s houses — very similar to the friendship show.” One particular element of commune living does not appeal to Aniston and that is the, um, sharing of partners. “I don’t think that’s an end-well situation,” she said. “But there are a lot of people who do it.” Always quick to the joke, Rudd added, “A lot of them live in Paris.” Check out everything we’ve got on “Wanderlust.” For breaking news, celebrity columns, humor and more — updated around the clock — visit MTVMoviesBlog.com .
