Wanderlust: A 'one-joke hippie comedy'? (The Week)

[unable to retrieve full-text content]The Week - Fish-out-of-water urbanites Jennifer Aniston and Paul Rudd find themselves stuck in a commune — and all the cinematic cliches that come with itIn this weekend's raunchy new comedy Wanderlust, Paul Rudd and Jennifer Aniston play an uptight couple who are forced out of their Manhattan "micro-loft" when he loses his job and she fails to tempt HBO with her documentary about penguins with testicular cancer. The stranded duo stumble upon the hippie commune Elysium, where they encounter nudists, free love, LSD, and a slew of other hippie tropes. (Watch the trailer below.) So much of the film's fish-out-of-water humor is mined from those cliches that some are branding Wanderlust a "one-joke hippie comedy." Does a strong ensemble, which includes Alan Alda, Justin Theroux, Judd Apatow favorite Kathryn Hahn, and Six Feet Under's Lauren Ambrose, overcome the script's monotony?
