Synopsis

Paul Rudd and Jennifer Aniston star in Wanderlust, a comedy from director David Wain (Role Models) and producer Judd Apatow (Knocked Up) about a couple who leaves the pressures of the big city and joins a freewheeling community where the only rule is to be yourself.

George (Rudd) and Linda (Aniston) are an overextended, stressed out Manhattan couple. After George is downsized out of his job, they find themselves with only one option: to move in with George's awful brother in Atlanta.

On the way there, George and Linda stumble upon Elysium, an idyllic community populated by colorful characters who embrace a different way of looking at things. Money? It can't buy happiness. Careers? Who needs them? Clothes? Only if you want them.

Is Elysium the fresh start George and Linda need? Or will the change of perspective cause more problems than it solves?

David Wain Talks Working With Paul Rudd On Wanderlust

Since making his feature film debut with Wet Hot American Summer in 2001, director David Wain has never made a movie without Paul Rudd. From the dickish Andy in the summer camp comedy to the narrator with a moral dilemma in The Ten, to the acerbic and bitter Danny in Role Models, Wain has always turned to Rudd for his projects. But what is it about the actor that makes Wain never want to make a movie without him?...

When you have a cast as talented as the one featured in Wanderlust, you know there’s going to be a lot of improvisation.

Paul Rudd Arrives Late To The Orgy In New Wanderlust Red Band Trailer

There was a long drought of advertising for David Wain's Wanderlust.

The the latest clip from the upcoming David Wain directed film Wanderlust raises an interesting topic.

Paul Rudd Kills A Defenseless Fly In New Clip From Wanderlust

Paul Rudd Kills A Defenseless Fly In New Clip From Wanderlust

I hate insects. In fact, it goes far beyond that. I hate anything that has more than four appendages. Insects, beetles, bugs, arachnids, you name it, I hate it. So, naturally, whenever I see one of them, my first instinct is to smash and smush it until it's nothing more than a pile of goo on the bottom of my shoe. Apparently this kind of behavior doesn't sit well in hippy communes....

Wanderlust Trailer: Funny People, Funny Jokes, And Goat Milking

Sometimes I'll write up a trailer and say that it seems funny, despite the fact that it never actually made me laugh. That's just what happens when you're working home alone-- it's hard for something to be so funny that it actually makes you laugh out loud. But Wanderlust, the trailer for David Wain's new comedy that debuted today at Yahoo! Movies, actually got a solid guffaw out of me more than once...
