I saw this movie a while ago when it was in theaters. I wasn't sure after I watched it if I really cared for it much. The director, Sam Mendes, was a pretty focused-on director in a cinema class I took last year...If you guys have ever seen American Beauty, you'd probably expect a lot from this guy too.
After a long time spent pondering, I came to the conclusion that I do, in fact, think this movie can be called a great motion picture. However, it really isn't much like his previous works.
Away We Go is a story of a semi-young couple...I feel we've been bombarded by a whole lot of young adult love stories in the film industry recently so it was refreshing to see this one. If I'm not mistaken they are now 30 years old and expecting an unexpected first child. The two main roles are played by John Krasinski and Maya Rudolph. John, or better yet, Burt's parents have just informed them that they are moving to another country and they are suddenly faced with the pressures of finding a place to raise their child. They decide its better if they live by people they know..family, friends, etc. so they go on a cross-country search. Along the way, they learn a lot about eachother and a lot about their relationship. Of course, there are good and bad events on this journey but all-in-all its an uplifting, inspiring film.
