Endlich eine Wohnung in Manhattan! Für George (Paul Rudd) und Linda (Jennifer Aniston) ist ein Herzenswunsch in Erfüllung gegangen. Doch ihr Glück ist leider nur von kurzer Dauer. Denn als George seinen Job verliert, müssen sie ihre Traumwohnung räumen und zu Georges Bruder Seth nach Atlanta ziehen. Doch der entpuppt sich als echter Kotzbrocken. Nach wenigen Tagen halten es George und Linda nicht mehr aus und sind wieder „on the road". Zufällig treffen sie auf eine Kommune, die einen alternativen Lebensstil ausprobiert und dabei sehr happy zu sein scheint. Geld? Macht nicht wirklich glücklich! Karriere? Reine Zeitverschwendung! Kleidung? Nur wenn es unbedingt sein muss! Eröffnet das Hippie-Paradies den beiden Aussteigern tatsächlich eine neue, frische Lebensperspektive? Oder gehört zur Selbstverwirklichung doch mehr als „bewusstseinserweiternder Tee" und „freie Liebe"? Diese Komödie wirft einen subversiven Blick auf zwei unterschiedliche Welten: hier das New Yorker Upperclass-Establishment dort das Aussteiger-Camp „Elysium" mit rustikalem Landlust-Flair, bevölkert von durchgeknallten Hippies und einem Nudisten. Ein wahrlich derber Kulturschock, der das Yuppie-Pärchen in unfassbar komische Situationen bringt. Von den erotischen Gelegenheitsentgleisungen ganz zu schweigen. (Universal Pictures Germany)

I mostly decided to watch the movie because of Jennifer Aniston. Sure, also because of Alan Alda. I thought that even if the comedy has such a low rating on this site, those actors can’t be disappointing. And I ignored this rating completely because I was excited to watch a nice comedy. But this was the second time that lead actors disappointed me in one day. First it was Adam Sandler in Jack and Jill and now Jennifer Aniston in Wanderlust. It’s not actually that bad, but some of the scenes were more sickening than they were laughable. For example, the “natural” birth. In any case, Jennifer put her all into the movie. She even showed more than just her legs, even if it was hidden behind a shield of pixels.

There are a lot of bad American comedies, they are unfunny, stupid, and based on completely nonsensical values. Let's take the film "This is Paradise" as an example. What is the movie actually trying to say? That hippies are actually pretty cool, or that they are a bunch of posers who refuse to exist in society? The movie tells us that the main characters have found their true lives, their true selves in the community, but they don't stay there because that would go against the American idea of a truly fulfilling life. The whole film is actually a pose, not trying to criticize too much, but at the same time clearly stating that there is only one way to live right. It is possible to choose a different path for a while, but it is not possible to follow it for the rest of your life. It's just a momentary whim, just a diversion. Nothing else is forgiven. This is where this film fails, which is the problem with most American comedies. It fails because Aniston is better than Rudd, which means she is bad and he is absolutely unbearable. I'm starting to have an allergy to this guy, and I always thought he was a great actor. But the fact that he makes funny faces, says a few dirty words, and flips a car once, that's just not funny. The film is sadly unfunny, which is very bad for a comedy by Apatow. NO! This comedy is not worth it, even though there is one person here who managed to lift my mood at least a little - Alan Alda. Although he has little screen time, he is still a great actor. More: http://www.filmovy-denik.cz/2012/09/navzdy-spolu-marketa-lazarova-pouta.html
