A slow start, fun, trippy times, and strange nudity are all the components that come together to bring the exaggerated idea of hippy-culture to the movie screens in Wanderlust.

Jennifer Aniston. Paul Rudd. Wanderlust.

Wanderlust, despite it's almost immovable start, is a movie that still seems to keep an audience somewhat engaged, but it's definitely an acquired taste.  If you're someone who is inspired or intrigued by the common idea or exaggerated concept of hippy-culture you're most likely going to enjoy the film. But if you're not so open-minded, I wouldn't recommend it.



One of the main themes of Wanderlust is the way it looks at life and the way a person chooses to live it. Even though this might be the most clear and evident message within the film, it is an important one. This is one of those movies that takes a somewhat different perspective on life and the contrast between living a life that you want to live, or living the life that has been set up by societal views of how you "should" live. One being the path that may make a person most liberated and free, while the other way of life might led to dissatisfaction and a lack of fulfillment as they follow the established and confining societal norms that dictate who they should be/what they should do.



Wanderlust is not the best film at all. It is one of those movies that has some funny moments, several crazy moments, and is just good enough for a weekend when there's nothing better on TV.
