Here is the synopsis for “Wanderlust”:
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?
The movie trailer for “Wanderlust” can be watched now below.

yes or no
For me, it would be yes for the freedom and no due to privacy. To feed both my animals, I would have to say both. Therefore, leaving me to live there parttime andelsewhere the left over time.

I would love to live there. After the day I had today in a 3rd grade classroom, Elysium looks more than appealing. :)
no
no commune for me
Elysium Asylum
Yes, gladly.
Would I live in Elysium? Sure, but...
I’d be the town oddity. Which is somewhat strange, since everyone there is already “odd” — I’ll the the strange one due to my normal, blah boringness.
No thanks.
No thanks.
no
Not my cup of tea I would be bored and bore everyone around me
but I bet it could be fun for some
I would because there is not
I would because there is not enough love in most placesso a place with too much would be refreshing
