was a lot more fun to make than it is to watch
Review rate : C
by Barbara VanDenburgh [Arizona Republic ]
this movie enjoys starting every laugh with a dropped jaw
by Ian Buckwalter [NPR ]
these anachronistic counter-culture types, meant to be oddly funny, are hardly a laugh riot
by Claudia Puig [USA Today ]
there was so much potential in this project, from concept to cast
Review rate : D
by Elizabeth Weitzman [New York Daily News ]
there are solid, often funny performances
Review rate : D
by Linda Barnard [Toronto Star ]
the laughter is served up naughty and nice, and frequently au naturel, earning it an R rating when perhaps RR would have been more appropriate
Review rate : C
by Betsy Sharkey [Los Angeles Times ]
technically sound but undistinguished -- conjures bemused smiles early on, anyway, but too rarely delivers genuine laughs
by Brian Lowry [Variety ]
offers the most familiar conflict it can think of as backdrop for the impending marital crisis
by John DeFore [Hollywood Reporter ]
none of the hilarity is enough to keep Wanderlust from feeling like a late-night comedy-show sketch stretched to feature length
Review rate : C
by Keith Uhlich [Time Out New York ]
most of it is pretty funny stuff
Review rate : C
by Glenn Kenny [MSN Movies ]
mined for cheap laughs or timely drama ages ago, complete with comical nudity and trippy hallucinogenic freakouts
Review rate : C+
by Nathan Rabin [AV Club ]
may fail as satire, but its absurdist slant and eye for detail sustain it through its cruder passages
by Jesse Cataldo [Slant Magazine ]
it's a pleasure to see Aniston thrive in her comedy zone
Review rate : A-
by Lisa Schwarzbaum [Entertainment Weekly ]
funny, it also meanders
Review rate : C
by James Rocchi [Boxoffice Magazine ]
as the story starts getting somewhat mundane once the overused plot device is introduced that has the commune
by Edward Douglas [ComingSoon.net ]
actually, that seems a bit tricky, which may be why for every few jokes that hit in this story about a recession-battered New York couple finding themselves on a Georgia commune, one sputters and dies
