George and Linda are forced to sell their new apartment and move out of New York. On the way to Atlanta they end up in Elysium, a free-spirited hippie commune whose members have abandoned the trappings of material life, such as doors. The ensuing fish-out-of-water comedy is broadly characterised and predictably plotted, but irresistibly funny. There are some lovely performances in the supporting roles, like Justin Theroux as the charismastic leader, Alan Alda as the scatterbrained property owner and Joe Lo Truglio as the naturist winemaker.
