I had really wanted to see this when it came out, so I was thrilled when I found it on HBO. It was a joy to see Jennifer Aniston and Paul Rudd together again, and not in a relationship that can never happen (see 1998: The Object of My Affection).
The movie begins with the two, George and Linda (yes, it did weird me out a little to hear Jen calling Paul “George” again, once more, see The Object of My Affection), buying an apartment, only to find themselves unable to afford it as they lose their jobs. Linda’s job situation is a little unstable to begin with, as she’s trying to get a documentary film made, and George gets laid off.
No other options, they pack up and move to Atlanta where George can get work with his brother’s Port-o-Potty empire. However, their car breaks down and they have to stop off at a commune, the only thing nearby, where they discover nudity, shared spouses, and living off the land as they never knew possible from their lives in Manhattan.
Seth (Jen’s real-life fiance, Justin Theroux) is the one running the place, with a few familiar faces like Malin Akerman, Alan Alda, and Kathryn Hahn playing members of the community. After living in such a materialistic and uptight world as Manhattan, the concept of returning to a more natural way of life with some friendly, good-hearted people is very appealing.
However, familiarity and “real world” comforts, like having a bedroom door, taking a dump in private, and not sharing your wife with another man, interrupt their newfound lifestyle and they begin to wish for their old lives back.
Also, after discovering what kind of person Seth really is, George and Linda’s perspectives shift and they find their way back to their lives, and each other, but with a new appreciation for loving what they do. As a result, they find a way to incorporate a little of that love into the real world to earn a living.
This didn’t do so well at the theaters – there’s still a stigma about nudists, hippies, and communes that even fifty years hasn’t washed away – but it’s a really hilarious film, worth every minute.
