Wanderlust - A great but underrated comedy

Wanderlust , the new David Wain's comedy starring Jennifer Aniston and Paul Rudd , hit more than 2000 theaters on February 24 but despite the great cast and the good reviews coming from the audience, the movie didn't do a good opening .It is one of those movies that promise lots of laughs and a good time but they finally get lost at the Box Office.

Greatest example,  ' the Swashank Redemption ' which managed to gross only $28 million but ended up receiving 7 Academy Awards Nominations and became the #1 rated movie on Imdb.Com.

Another example of a great movie that failed at Box Office , 'The Iron Giant'. With a production budget of $70 million it only made $23 million although it's one of audience's all time favorite animation movies.

Latest example on the long list is 'Wanderlust' that is considered to be one of the greatest comedies of the year and the most underrated movie at the same time.More and more people on twitter and facebook keeps suggesting the rest of us to go watch it but still low numbers in tickets sales remain. Could it be the bad timing, could it be the bad promotion , the intentional attack by some blogs or could it just be the R rating and the naked scenes that keep people outside movie theaters?

No matter what the reason is , this is definately a movie that will make you laugh , enjoy and feel great. So close your ears to those who try to convince you not to go watch it and build your own opinion.
