(Movie Review) Wanderlust (2012)

I have a special place in my heart for Paul Rudd movies. Always have. Since I saw him in Clueless he has been one of my go-to actors for uncomfortable comedic actors. He has a way about him that you you can honestly believe that he is the most sincere person in the scene. That is a rare quality that most actors do not have...yet he has an abundance of this quality. It's an amazing thing. Might be why his movies always get a pass with me...because he is that damn good at his job.

Storyline:After George is downsized from his financial firm and Linda's depressing documentary is cancelled, they can no longer afford their overpriced 'micro-loft' in New York. They find themselves with just one option - to pack up their lives and head south to move in with George's brother and his wife. George and Linda stumble upon Elysium, an idyllic community where the only rule is to be yourself.Written by Universal Pictures

Thoughts? This movie actually has some really funny moments. The nudist, Wayne (played by Joe Lo Truglio) hangs some serious "dong" in this movie, so be ready for that. This movie made me like Aniston's character in a few scenes and absolutely HATE her in others...which leaves you with an odd feeling as the movie ends, as you think that certain people deserve better than what they end up with. That is just my opinion.

Rudd does, unfortunately, has one of the most annoying scenes in the movie. It's a scene where he is trying to psych himself into having "relations" with another woman and it turns into about 2 minutes of stupidity. But, for the price of a trip to redbox, the movie is worth $1 to check out.
