PCP on DVD - Wanderlust

Some times I will pick up a film just because I like who is in the movie, without really knowing anything about the film.  In some cases, I pick up a great film that I missed.  In other cases, I pick up a dud that I wish I had missed.  Wanderlust is closer to the latter category than the former.

Wanderlust - 2012, rated R.  My rating:  6 out of 10.

I picked up Wanderlust because I like Paul Rudd a lot, and Jennifer Aniston can be good in some roles as well.  The film is the story of two New Yorkers who through a series of unfortunate events wind up spending some time living on a hippie commune.  The film has a few laughs and some heartwarming moments between Aniston and Rudd, but in general the film relies way too much on stereotypical hippie jokes, without a lot of originality.  Only the charisma of the stars as well as the great supporting cast (Justin Theroux, Malin Akerman, & Alan Alda, amongst many) save the film from being a total disaster.  As it is though, the film is only so-so, and nothing particular to write home about.
