Paul Rudd: 'Wanderlust director David Wain makes me laugh continually'

Paul Rudd has said that he loves working with his Wanderlust director David Wain.
Rudd has previously appeared in Wain's feature movies Wet Hot American Summer and Role Models as well as the filmmaker's web series Wainy Days.
The actor said he continues to work with Wain frequently because he admires the director's unique vision for comedy.
"I'm a huge David Wain fan. And he's one of my best friends now, he just makes me laugh continually, much to the annoyance of his wife actually," Rudd joked, according to Flicks and Bits.
Rudd continued: "[My wife's] like, 'Don't encourage him', when we have dinner and stuff. I just think he's got a very specific sensibility that is unlike anybody's I've ever met. I happen to think that he's a really talented filmmaker."
The star want on to promise Wain's fans that Wanderlust shares the same "sensibility" of the cult classic Wet Hot American Summer.
"I think that anyone who's familiar with David Wain's sensibility, and some of the stuff he's made in the past, from Wet Hot American Summer, or Stella, they know that he has a very specific take on things," Rudd said. "Wanderlust is a movie that I think also falls into that category, yet it was expanded into something that could actually have some sort of commercial appeal.
"Wanderlust can be fairly extreme and irreverent. It's just a crazy, crazy story that is hopefully the perfect match of distinct comedy, and an accessible story."
Wanderlust - also starring Jennifer Aniston and Alan Alda - opens on Friday, February 24 in US cinemas and on March 2 in the UK.
