Wanderlust - Getting back on one’s feet
Paul Rudd (Role Models, I Love You, Man) and Jennifer Aniston (Horrible Bosses, The Break-Up) star in Wanderlust, the raucous new comedy from director David Wain (Role Models, Wet Hot American Summer) and producer Judd Apatow (Bridesmaids, Knocked Up) about a harried couple who leave the pressures of the big city and join a freewheeling community where the only rule is to be yourself.
George (Rudd) and Linda (Aniston) are overextended, overstressed Manhattanites who are barely hanging on by a thread. After George is downsized from his financial firm and Linda’s depressing documentary is cancelled, they can no longer afford their overpriced “micro-loft” (read: studio apartment) in the West Village.
They find themselves with just one option: to pack up their lives and head south to move in with George’s McMansion-living jerk of a brother, Rick (Ken Marino of Role Models, The Ten), and his constantly tipsy wife, Marisa (Michalea Watkins of television’s New Girl, Saturday Night Live), in Atlanta. It’ll just be a few months until they get back on their feet…
On the way there, George and Linda stumble upon Elysium, an idyllic community populated by colorful characters—including Alan Alda (The Aviator) as the troupe’s drop-out founder, Carvin; Justin Theroux (Zoolander) as Elysium’s alpha male, Seth; Malin Akerman (The Proposal) as the sexually adventurous Eva; Joe Lo Truglio (Role Models) as nudist Wayne; Kerri Kenney-Silver (Role Models) as the boundaryless Kathy; Kathryn Hahn (Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy) as former porn star and current jam maker Karen; Lauren Ambrose (TV’s Six Feet Under) as Earth mother Almond; and Jordan Peele (Little Fockers) as Almond’s life partner, Rodney—who embrace a refreshingly different way of looking at things. After spending one adventurous night among these characters, George and Linda decide to give a new lifestyle ago and begin to question how they should live the rest of their lives.
Money? It can’t buy happiness. Careers? Who needs them? Clothes? Only if you want them. Is Elysium the fresh start that George and Linda need? Or will the change of perspective cause more problems than it solves?
Directed by David Wain from a screenplay by Ken Marino & David Wain, Wanderlust’s creative team is led by producers Apatow, Marino, Rudd and Wain. Key crew for the comedy includes director of photography Michael Bonvillain (Zombieland, Cloverfield), production designer Aaron Osborne (Kiss Kiss Bang Bang, I Am Sam), costume designer Debra Mcguire (Superbad, Knocked Up), composer Craig Wedren (Role Models, The School of Rock) and editors David Moritz (Get Him to the Greek, It’s Complicated) and Robert Nassau (The Definition of Insanity, TV’s Children’s Hospital).
The film is executive produced by Richard Vane (Forgetting Sarah Marshall).
