There is something about Paul Rudd that makes him so damn enjoyable to watch. Of course, he's easy on the eyes, but there's something else. Maybe an inherent goodness? Whatever it is, Rudd's good vibes leak out of every film I've seen him in. Wanderlust and Our Idiot Brother are stupid comedies that work, at least for me. Probably because they're wonderfully cast (Jennifer Anniston, Malin Akerman, and Lauren Ambrose (and more!) in Wanderlust and Zooey Deschannel, Elizabeth Banks, Rashida Jones and Emily Mortimer in Our Idiot Brother).
I am going to put Wanderlust in for a third go round. Wanna know why? Well, first, I'm sick and tired of heaviness. Life has so much heaviness already that it's nice to check in to some happy go-lucky floaty fun. Second, I really like making fun of the whole spiritual hippie scene. Why? Because I once lived in a commune and because I still live in the spiritual capital of the U.S. Well, at least of San Diego. I always say, yoga studios are to Encinitas what coffee shops are to Seattle.
So just relax, watch this movie, and have fun. Like I am. For the third time.
