Away We Go

When Burt Farlander (John Krasinski) and his pregnant girlfriend Verona (Maya Rudolph) learn that Burt’s parents are about to pack up and move to Europe for two years, the couple realize they too can move. This moment of clarity sets the couple to tour across the country connecting with friends and family, new and old in search of a new place to call home. Away We GoWell written script by up and coming author Dave Eggers, and quality acting by all involved with quirky characters at each turn, sometimes a little too over the top, but still likeable enough;  this indie film has a feel that could crossover into a wider release. Bit parts from actors Catherine O’Hara, Jeff Daniels, Maggie Gyllenhaal, and Allison Janney also lend to the fun spin on this film. Worth seeing as a matinee. Away We Go is rated R.
