Here’s the trailer for ‘Wanderlust’ – aka the move where Justin Theroux met Jennifer Aniston and dumped his girlfriend fo 14 years for her. (I’m pretty sure we can count on the fact that she’s one person who won’t see the film!)

In the David Wain-directed feature, Aniston and Rudd play a married couple, Linda and George, who are forced to go to plan B after George loses his job. “Why are you not at work George?,” Linda inquires when she notices her husband drinking on the couch. “Oh, I got to- .. I uh got fired,” George responds.

With little to no options, they decide to make the move in with relatives living in Georgia — and attempt to get back on their feet. In desperate need to get out of their situation, the pair takes a detour of sorts, landing at a quirky bed and breakfast (aka hippie commune) called Elysium.

“I believe I can fly!,” Linda declares after taking a sip of something that’s not tea. “If you’re going to get literal with an R. Kelly song, do ‘Trapped in the Closet!,’ ” George suggests.

Justin Theroux, Malin Akerman, Ken Marino, Lauren Ambrose and Alan Alda co-star in the R-rated film helmed by the Role Models and Wet Hot American Summer director.

Universal’s Wanderlust lands in theaters Feb. 24, 2012.

I’m not usually a huge fan of Jennifer Aniston’s movies (although ‘Horrible Bosses’ was HILARIOUS), but put her and her old ‘The Object of My Affection’ costar together again – and count me in! Jen and Paul Rudd have great chemistry together – and you can see it in the trailer!

This movie actually looks really good, if you ask me. I can’t wait to see it!

Here are some pictures of Jennifer Aniston on the set back last November when the movie filmed.

Reese Witherspoon and actor Paul Rudd attend a ‘How Do You Know’ Photocall at Hotel De Rome in Berlin, Germany today. Reese was sure to show off her engagement ring during the photo shoot with a smile.

Reese became engaged to boyfriend, agent Jim Toth in late December. Her ring is a rare Ashoka diamond stunner, set on a pave diamond-and-platinum band, was custom-designed by the William Goldberg Diamond Corporation. The center stone features 62 displayed facets and rounded corners.

Have any of you seen ‘How Do You Know’? Is it as bad as they say? I have a friend who saw it who’s trying to convince me it’s not that bad…but I’m not buying it. It looks terrible! If you’ve seen it – let me know what you thought!

Actor Paul Rudd has signed up to star in a sequel to hit comedy Knocked Up, reprising his role from the 2007 original.

Seth Rogen and Katherine Heigl featured in Judd Apatow’s Knocked Up as expectant parents dealing with the consequences of a one-night stand.

It has now been confirmed Rudd and Leslie Mann will reteam in a follow-up, which will be written and directed by Apatow. It is not known whether Rogen or Heigl will be joining the cast.

Methinks that Judd won’t be knocking down Katherine’s door, considering what she said about the original movie. In an interview with Vanity Fair in 2007, Katherine said called the movie;

“a little sexist” and adds: “It paints women as shrews, as humorless and uptight, and it paints the men as goofy, fun-loving guys. It was hard for me to love the movie.”

I wouldn’t mind one bit if Katherine wasn’t in the sequel. She drives me nuts.

The sequel is due for release in 2012, according to Variety.

Here’s your first look at a scruffy Paul Rudd in his new film, ‘My Idiot Brother’.

The comedy is about a slacker brother (Rudd) who is passed around from sister to sister. When one sister tires of him hanging around, she passes him onto the next.

The film stars Elizabeth Banks, Zooey Deschanel, Emily Mortimer, Rashida Jones, Steve Coogan and Hugh Dancy.

Can’t wait!

OUCH! Reese Witherspoon, Paul Rudd and Owen Wilson star in James L. Brooks new movie, ‘How Do You Know’ which comes out today. There seems to be a reason why the movie wasn’t screened in advance for critics… the movie sucks. Here’s what NY Mag has to say:

It’s hard to imagine many people will have the patience to sit through James L. Brooks‘ dismally wan rom-com “How Do You Know.” But those who do will need a way to pass the time. My solution was to consider variations on the titular query, until the credits finally rolled. For example:

Q: How do you know when a director has become too cynical for his own good?

A: When he assumes audiences will fall for anything, as long as it fits a formula.

Other viewers, however, may want to start with a more urgent question. Like:

Q: How do you know when to cut your losses and go see something else?

A: When you start to feel embarrassed for everyone on screen.

That moment arrives way too soon, as it becomes clear that Reese Witherspoon has no idea how to shape her performance. It’s not really her fault, though; Brooks (an Oscar-winner who’s been in a slump since 2004′s “Spanglish”) never bothered to turn his concepts into characters. So all there is to Witherspoon’s Lisa is this: After aging out of professional softball, she’s wondering if it’s time to focus on marriage and children.

She won’t achieve either with her boyfriend (Owen Wilson), an oafish baseball star. It’s doubtful Lisa would ever date this dimwitted playboy, but he provides the required conflict when brainy George (Paul Rudd) shows up.

Frankly, there’s no reason George should fall for the ultra-bland Lisa, either. But Brooks needs to push the movie along, so the men compete fiercely, with one offering intelligent sensitivity and the other offering, well, Owen Wilson’s hair. To distract us from this gaping vacuum of a plot, a lost-looking Jack Nicholson wanders through as George’s corrupt father.

Brooks’ shallow screenplay feels half-finished, and he never compensates with additional guidance or directorial flair. So all his actors are forced to flail about ineffectually. Apparently, none of them read the script in advance. Because surely then they’d have known to take a pass.

I read other reviews this morning – not all are this harsh, but for the most part it’s getting either 1 or 2 stars. Again… OUCH.

I love her dress!!

Paul Rudd shows off his newly grown beard on the set of “My Idiot Brother” in New York City on August 5.

Here’s the synopsis from EW!

Elizabeth Banks (the aspiring journalist), Emily Mortimer (the perfect mom), and Zooey Deschanel (the lesbian!) will play the sisters of Paul Rudd in Jesse Peretz’ upcoming comedy My Idiot Brother. Rashida Jones is Zooey’s girlfriend, in a fun twist on the Rudd-Jones romance from 2009′s I Love You, Man. All five of them can sit around having staring contests while trying to determine who has the most unique and exquisite eye color. Still no word on who plays their “overbearing mother.”

I love Paul Rudd! I can’t wait to see it! Have you seen Dinner For Schmucks yet?
