I feel like Paul Rudd and Jennifer Aniston have worked together a million times before, but it just seems that way, right? In reality, they only did The Object of My Affection (where he played a gay dude and she was his BFF), and now they’re playing a married couple in Wanderlust. The trailer has just come out – it’s not bad. I smiled a few times, and thankfully, it doesn’t look like the standard-issue romantic comedies that Aniston usually gets involved with, now the standard-issue sausage-fests that Paul Rudd is usually involved with. The basic story is: neurotic New York power-couple has to move out of city when Rudd’s character loses his job. Stuff happens and they end up in a hippie-dippy commune of nudists, druggies, farmers, etc. Chaos ensues. This is also the movie where Aniston met Justin Theroux (who had a girlfriend at the time). Justin actually gave me the biggest laugh with “flick the tip”.

It’s doesn’t look bad at all, although there might be reason to worry because the release date has already been pushed back. Wanderlust was supposed to come out this fall, but now it’s set for release February 24, which is probably Oscar weekend, right? So Aniston and Theroux and Rudd might end up as presenters at the Oscars, of course, JUST to promote their film, not because Brad Pitt will likely be nominated. OF COURSE NOT.

But seriously, I won’t give Aniston credit for much, but she is a talented comedienne, and an underrated physical comedian. It looks like this film gives her a lot of physical comedy, which is great for her. As for Rudd… it just seems like the role he’s had a million times before.
