Leave your thoughts about Wanderlust.
| BrianOrndorf.comBrian OrndorfA mild comedy with a few hysterical moments, a steady rhythm of mischief, and a distant sense of misery -- at times uneven, but always engaging. |
| Reeling ReviewsRobin CliffordIt is not the story but the ensemble cast that saves "Wanderlust" from being a mediocre comedy. |
| Metro Times (Detroit, MI)Corey Hall...engaging, amusing, and often achingly, gut-wrenchingly funny. |
| leonardmaltin.comLeonard MaltinWanderlust never soars to great comic heights, but it offers a number of laughs and chuckles. |
| Suburban Journals of St. LouisMathew DeKinderWanderlust is the perfect title for the new Paul Rudd and Jennifer Aniston comedy because it is a potentially good movie that just gets lost along the way. |
| Entertainment WeeklyLisa SchwarzbaumI don't know what tools of the trade Paul Rudd and director David Wain share to dream up the kind of inspired nutso stuff Rudd has done in smart-funny-raunchy winners like "Wet Hot American Summer" and "Role Models." But whatever it is, the two are in a groove - and backed up by some blissed-out creative co-conspirators. |
| CraveOnlineWilliam BibbianiBetter for having ambitions, but ironically less perfect for failing to live up to those ideals. |
| Reason OnlineKurt LoderThe movie's string of sometimes funny gags seems to be its only purpose-it's like a TV sketch that won't stop. |
| Philadelphia InquirerCarrie RickeyDavid Wain's riotous, raunchy, and more than a little raggedy showcase for Rudd's improv genius and Aniston's airy groundedness. He is gut-busting funny, she gently ticklish - ideal comic rapport. |
| RedEyeMatt PaisFoolproof movie idea: Paul Rudd stands in front of a mirror and improvises for 90 minutes. |
