FILM: Wanderlust (dir: David Wain, 2012)

"Are you pooping?"

The rather predictable set-up of Wanderlust has a (rather mature) New York couple swapping their unfulfilling aspirational city lifestyle for a stereotypical commune, making for pleasant if unremarkable viewing.  Aniston and Rudd are both complete comedy professionals, and their playing of the comedy and their relationship is always worth watching, and their are some nice broad humorous performances by the supporting players, especially Rudd's obnoxious brother and his family.  This is a minor entry from the Apatow stable, which is nevertheless a palatable and reasonably amusing comedy.  Look out for the brief but genuinely funny gag reel in the closing credits.
