Wanderlust: Press reviews

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

'...mostly funny...'

'messy but occasionally very funny'

'it's the rare instance where the amount of fun they clearly had on set crosses that elusive membrane into the movie'

'a storm of bad taste'

'stuck with a screenplay that uses its best jokes in the opening scenes (and the trailer), and has such a rickety plot that it resorts to a TV news report to tie up its storylines at the end.'

'Uptight urbanites encounter laidback beatniks with amusing consequences in a Judd Apatow production that doesn't seem sure how to develop its culture-clash scenario'

'At their best, Jennifer Aniston and Paul Rudd have an amiable comic charm, but they show no better instinct for picking a movie than they did 14 years ago'

'Trash'

'...a humourless embarrassment...'

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