Surprised at how low this movie rating is


Am I the only one that found this movie enjoyable? Sure it was predictable at times,and I didn't like the character destruction of seth or paul rudds sexually awkward spots, but overall I had some laughs and I dig on the philosophy. Read my other reviews too ;) http://uncriticallyacclaimed.blogspot.com/2013/02/wanderlust-2012.html

If you liked this one then you will likely also enjoy Park with Ricki Lake. Both excellent films.

Like you, I was surprised by this movie rating. I was expecting to be at most 4 yt it is closer to 6 than to 5.

I think I laughed once.

I too was suprised by the rating. I dont know how it got above 4.

I absolutely loved the movie, it wasn't 100% laugh out loud funny all the way, but it covered serious and sad topics like losing ones job and having nowhere to go, jealousy and feelings of not being appreciated in a relationship, and had amazing laughs and a perfect cast

my roommates and I can't go a week without referencing Belson or the beltway, saying "suck on it", 'baba boooey howard stern!"

I am always shocked at how underappreciated this movie was and is

I had a great time watching the film, I like Apatow a lot, great producer!!

Yeah, I caught the "suck on it", 'baba boooey howard stern!" during the protest. This movie is a bit uneven, but there enough incredibly funny moments to make up for it. I loved Alan Alda. This was almost a cast reunion from "Wet, Hot American Summer". Funny Movie!

Who's High Pitch?

I thought it was great too. I mean it it's quite predictable and the themes are cliched but in the end the performances are so well done I got a lot of laughs. It was the first time I've ever seen Justin Theroux. I thought his character was hilarious.

This won't be a classic but it was well entertaining while I watched it, most movies can't even seem to reach this level for me.

I love this movie and laughed so hard throughout it...every character was developed and funny. I gave it an 8 !!

I gave it a 6. It was okay. Not the best movie Jennifer and Paul ever did but it had it moments. I thought Pauls awkward dirty talk was hilarious. But I think it's predictability killed it in the end.
