The film stars Jennifer Aniston and Rudd as a married couple who try to escape modern society by finding themselves on a commune in Georgia, after the economy crashes down on their dreams in New York City.

George and Linda Gergenblatt are an urban married couple who purchase a micro-loft in New York after much hesitation.

Soon after purchasing their home, George learns that his company has folded, overnight, while HBO rejects Linda's documentary.

In the morning, everyone helps flip the car back upright so they can leave, as Seth urges them to stay, but they continue on to Atlanta.

After a few days, Linda starts feeling enlightened after drinking some drug-laced tea in the truth circle, while George begins having second thoughts.

Both George and Linda rebuff the notion of free love, and several crazy situations arise during that period, bizarre and otherwise.

After the developers arrive with a bulldozer, to make a television reporting crew take more interest, Linda scares them off by flashing them her breasts, and many of the other residents join her, which gets sensationalized coverage, and halts the proceeding.

The next morning, George reaches a breaking point, again, stating that he dislikes the rules of Elysium and wants to leave.

In the meantime, George realizes he loves Linda and comes back to find her, getting into a fight with Seth while the commune looks on and tries to help 'non-violently'.

In a post-credits scene, Marisa is a cast member of the television reality show The Real Housewives of Atlanta.

Rotten Tomatoes gives the film a 59% rating based on 147 reviews, with the site's consensus stating, "It isn't always as funny as it should be, but Wanderlust benefits from an extremely talented cast and some of David Wain's most confident, assured work behind the camera.
