Away We Go

I just realized that I neglected to post a review of this movie, that I saw last month. Odd, since I have a distinct memory of writing it, but perhaps I was just thinking of the things I would put in the review and never actually wrote it. It is the tale of a young couple (Burt and Verona), played by John Krasinski and Maya Rudolph, who go on a road trip in search of a place to settle down and raise the child on the way. Their journeys take them to a menagerie of dysfunctional friends, family, and former acquaintances. The characters of Burt and Verona are understated, certainly in comparison to some of their friends (Maggie Gyllenhaal as a New Age professor who shuns strollers because they involve pushing her children away from her). The movie has many laughs, but I felt I knew some of the supporting characters better than Burt and Verona.

  1. some movies just do that, use the main characters as tools for you to meet other characters. i still want to see it, i think.
