Wanderlust

[superhero]

Saw the poster in the Underground a few days ago for the film and I thought how very very new age and hippy.....

We've seen the trailers..... the verdict's still out.....

Ken Marino and David Wain, hope it's half as funny as either of them, at least.

Saw it this evening. I laughed a hell of a lot. Drags in the third act, and it's rather disjointed, but there's a lot of brilliant lines, scenes, moments. Deserves more love.

[superhero]

There's very little love for this regurgitation of Did You Hear About the Morgans? I am afraid...

[EthanRunt]

I only saw the trailer of that film, but this has no on-the-run-from-the-mob stuff, no 'ha ha, city life versus country life' stuff and only one scene with Sarah Jessica Parker, with only a little bit of make-up. As ever, a convincing horse.

[superhero]

I would hardly call Wanderlust an original idea....

[EthanRunt]

Not saying it's an original idea, no, but it is done well, which is more important. How To Train Your Dragon wasn't a completely original idea, but it's execution made it one of the best films of recent years.

[superhero]

Well I am not saying it's not done well, but I am saying it's another radical life change film.

God, I hate those films where a protagonist has their life changed drastically and must sort themselves out for a climax to the three-act structure. Damn you, cinema :)
