6/17/12
OVERVIEW: From director David Wain (Role Models, Wet Hot American Summer) and producer Judd Apatow
(Knocked Up, The 40-Year-Old Virgin) and starring Paul Rudd (I Love You Man, Role Models) and Jennifer Aniston (Horrible Bosses,
The Break-Up), Wanderlust is a laugh-out-loud comedy about leaving it all behind. Hailed as “hilarious from start to finish” by
Jeremy Smith, Ain’tItCoolNews.com, Wanderlust is available on Blu-ray™ Combo Pack, DVD, and On Demand on
June 19, 2012 from Universal Studios Home Entertainment.
After George (Rudd) loses his high-stress Manhattan job, he and his wife, Linda (Aniston), hit the road and wind up crashing at
Elysium, a free-spirited community of hippies, tree-huggers and the occasional nudist. Featuring an all-star ensemble cast including
Justin Theroux (Zoolander), Malin Akerman (The Proposal) and Alan Alda (Tower Heist), Wanderlust has “more laughs than I’ve had
at the movies in a very long time” (Carrie Rickey, Philadelphia Inquirer). The Wanderlust Blu-ray™ Combo Pack and DVD are packed
with bonus features, including deleted scenes, a gag reel, feature commentary and behind-the-scenes featurettes. Fans can also see
the Wanderlust “Bizarro Cut,” which features 80 minutes of never-before-seen jokes in nearly every scene, available exclusively on
Blu-ray™ and select VOD providers.

SYNOPSIS:
Paul Rudd and Jennifer Aniston star in Wanderlust, a raucous comedy from director David Wain (Role Models) and producer Judd Apatow (Knocked Up) about a couple who leaves the pressures of the big city and joins a freewheeling community where the only rule is to be yourself.
George (Rudd) and Linda (Aniston) are an overextended, stressed out Manhattan couple. After George is downsized out of his job, they find themselves with only one option: to move in with George's awful brother in Atlanta.
On the way there, George and Linda stumble upon Elysium, an idyllic community populated by colorful characters who embrace a different way of looking at things. Money? It can't buy happiness. Careers? Who needs them? Clothes? Only if you want them.
Is Elysium the fresh start George and Linda need? Or will the change of perspective cause more problems than it solves?
