Wanderlust
Director: David Wain
Actors: Jennifer Aniston, Paul Rudd, Malin Akerman
PlotGeorge and Linda are an overworked couple living in New York City. When George loses his job and the couple can no longer afford their expensive lifestyle, they decide to leave the city and move in with George's brother in Atlanta. On the way, they stumble upon a hippie commune called Elysium, where the residents live a free-spirited, counter-culture lifestyle that sharply contrasts with their own. Intrigued by the community’s ideals and the promise of a simpler life, George and Linda decide to give the place a try for a few weeks.
As they adjust to the unconventional ways of Elysium's residents, including open relationships, non-conformism, and communal living, George finds himself more quickly adapting to the lifestyle than Linda. Tensions arise as they navigate their differing feelings about their new environment, leading them to question their values, relationship, and what truly makes them happy. Their journey at Elysium becomes a rollercoaster of self-discovery and humor as they interact with the quirky inhabitants and confront the contrasts between their former urban existence and the new possibilities that lie ahead.
