I had high hopes for Wanderlust....

....after reading who's in it (I'm still adamant that Paul Rudd hasn't taken one false step............<puts hands over eyes> NOT ONE!). But then I watched the Red Band trailer (which shouldn't even be red band as there's nothing in it!).

(I did a search for Wanderlust here but it didn't bring up anything so apologies if I missed an existing thread).

Jennifer Aniston Gets a Bit Freaky in 'Wanderlust' Red Band Trailer

Since it's an R-rated comedy, the previews for all audiences trying to get people to see Wanderlust have been somewhat lackluster. Thankfully Paul Rudd and the promise of a scantily clad Jennifer Aniston may be generating more interest, not to mention that most of the supporting cast members and filmmakers from Role Models are back with this romantic comedy. Now we get a sense of the raunchy, sexual nature of this comedy with a new red band trailer which just showed up exclusively at Break.com and Screen Junkies. Joe Lo Truglio's behind makes an appearance, but you'll have to wait for Aniston's backside in theaters.

Here's the red band trailer for David Wain's Wanderlust:



An urbanite couple branches out to live a more "counter-culture" lifestyle at a community called Elysium.

Wanderlust is directed by filmmaker David Wain, of Wet Hot American Summer, The Ten and Role Models previously, as well as TV work on "The State", "Wainy Days" and "Childrens Hospital". The screenplay was co-written by David Wain & Ken Marino, also behind "The State", The Ten and Role Models. Universal will be releasing Wanderlust in theaters everywhere starting on February 24th later this month. Funny?

Don't get me wrong, I LOVE Paul Rudd and have done for a very long time. But he has stumbled a few times. No such thing as "can do no wrong" but he has dodged a few bullets

Back on the movie, I glimpsed this trailer a while back, and didn't love it, so I've vowed to stay away. It looks formulaic, predictable and mush. Buts its Rudd, so I'm in.

Jennifer Aniston gets a lot of stick but imo she does well in comedic roles but the only talk this movie seems to be getting is about her relationship with Justin Theroux, I agree the trailer dont make the film seem appealing at all

Trailer didnt particularly grab me.

oh my god... just back from this movie and its just plain awful! Wasnt in the least bit entertaining. Usually a movie with such a paper thin story redeems itself with interesting and likeable characters but this had neither.
Some scenes which were clearly improv'd by Rudd fell flat because he has no one to feed off. The rest of the cast (Aniston included) were 2 dimensional unoriginal caricatures, that really brought nothing to the movie.
Avoid. At all costs, avoid.

went to see this yesterday and was a bit meh to be honest.

The only bit that had me laughing was i

n front of the mirror when he was saying how he was going to **** the blonde one.

Saw this last night with herself and found it hilarious. well worth a watch, fairly off the wall but the characters were funny, even Alan Alda (who plays fairly bland characters usually (tower heist being an example)).

Well worth seeing if you are in the mood for a laugh, though I've a feeling it's probably hit or miss type of humour.

just loved this one
