Wanderlust (2012)

There are always moments in improv comedies where the actors keep making riffs on the same joke and it becomes very cloying for the audience. "Wanderlust" had many of these moments, and a few of them went on much longer than they should have. However, when the film was funny, it was really good, but when it wasn't, it dragged horribly. The one thing I always love about films featuring, or written by, members of MTV's sketch comedy show "The State" is playing the game "Spot the Former Castmates". I got up to six in this one, including Wain himself, as a weatherman.
