MaestroReviews

Deb and I are artists, painters actually. We go see films as often as once a week. That's right, we go to the theater and sit in a dark room with strangers to see movies. We rarely rent. We like "little" movies, foreign and documentary films. We try to stay away from mainstream and blockbusters whenever possible, but a couple sneak in each year. We seek out the obscure. We try to avoid violent movies, and that really limits our choices, most film makers seem to think violence makes a story interesting.
I try not to give anything away in the reviews, but offer an honest reaction.
We rate them 1~10, 10 being highest.

Wanderlust

Deb 8 Me 8

First off, if you have any illusions of seeing Jennifer Anniston naked, forget it. It don't happen here. There is some nudity and they break the dick barrier frequently in this funny funny movie. I like that they got right into it. There is a brief introduction to the players then we're off, we learn as we go. The bulk of the movie is a send up of a hippie commune filled with throwbacks with outdated references and exaggerated ideals. I found you have to abandon continuity and credibility and put up with formulaic tedium. But if you do, there are laughs; big hearty missed-the-next-line kind of laughs. There is a lot said under the breath that you have to listen for, they provide laughs too. Although they make fun of individuals in the commune world, the collective premise is given some respect and again, laughs. And there's lots of swearing too. Good healthy non-viscious cussing up a storm. We saw it twice.
