Movie Reviews

• 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

  Review rate : D by Manohla Dargis [New York Times ]
