Even before the maddeningly smug faux-bohemian denouement, we've turned off and tuned out. Bummer.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Mar 19, 2012

There is no narrative cohesion to the film, no pull towards any of the characters, no emotional connection that made anything going onscreen resonate beyond a superficial level.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Mar 17, 2012

Wanderlust is flawed, too, but for its exploration of financial ruin and alternative lifestyles, it shows once again that Aniston, at the very least, knows which way the wind is blowing.

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Mar 3, 2012

Trust me, this movie doesn't deliver on any level, high or low.

| Original Score: C- | Mar 2, 2012

Take an old idea, add a top notch comedy cast and some deliriously awkward moments, pop a spliff in its mouth and you're got this wayward but occasionally very funny alt.comedy.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Mar 2, 2012

There's a great deal of cheerfully excessive bad taste in this broad comedy, produced by Judd Apatow.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Mar 1, 2012

Surprising, sweet and charming, David Wain proves himself a comic director par excellence.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Mar 1, 2012

Paul Rudd and Jennifer Aniston click so well, and credibly, as a screen couple in Wanderlust, you may wonder why they couldn't be a go-to pairing for just about any quirky romcom.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Mar 1, 2012

It's hard to remember a comedy so populated with good character bits.

Full Review | Feb 29, 2012

You know you're in trouble when not even the improvised scenes and fluffed out-takes are funny.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Feb 29, 2012

A messy but occasionally very funny satirical comedy...

Full Review | Feb 28, 2012

Rudd might not be the subtlest straight man in movies, but, as of this moment, he's the best.

| Feb 27, 2012

Being taken under Apatow's wing may have been a big career break for writer-director David Wain, but this lacks the sharp personality of some of his earlier movies.

[The] shaggy but agreeable Wanderlust [is] worth the detour.

| Feb 26, 2012

Wanderlust never soars to great comic heights, but it offers a number of laughs and chuckles.

Full Review | Feb 24, 2012

Throughout his work, Wain's humor oscillates between sophomoric gags and much wiser behavioral observations -- reasons why it almost makes sense to take him seriously as an artist.

| Original Score: B- | Feb 24, 2012

The film's problems go deeper than its outdated source of mockery and its narrative sloppiness. Worse than anything else, it's just not all that funny.

| Feb 24, 2012

It takes guts to do a comedy this big without gross-out slapstick, and the writers and the actors are all in.

| Feb 24, 2012

A comedy that looks way better than it actually is set amidst the dreck of late winter releases...

| Feb 24, 2012

It wastes a situation filled with comic potential, forgoing sharp satire for lazy jokes even Beavis and Butthead would find beneath them.

| Original Score: D | Feb 24, 2012
