One of those quirky movies that makes you smile and think.

A few laughs, but I found the plot to be sloppy and unbelievable, and a lot of the dialogue vulgar. Sorry I watched it to the end.

One not-so-young couple's quest for free babysitting. I love movies with characters who are imperfect and "unsympathetic", but every character in this movie is simply irritating or two-dimensional. If your philosophy is that other people, especially older people and relatives, exist to serve your needs, and you are entitled to judge them severely if they don't, you will like this movie. I made it to the end by pretending the (heavily implied) bad characters are the good characters, and vice versa. Maggie Gyllenhaal gives the only memorable performance, so you might as well fast forward to her scene.

Really lovely movie. Both the leads did really good jobs. Heartfelt

The attempts at humour seemed forced and the dramatic moments rang hollow. It all just seemed like it was made with a Hollywood "checklist". Familiar actor names=check, overtly dramatic music, on-cue=check, etc.

This is a great movie. The two main characters do a great job but I think the key to the movie are the cameos by such a great cast. Maggie Gyllenhaal’s character is hilarious! The movie does start out slow so give it a bit of time. Enjoy!

Away We Go, also directed by Sam Mendes, introduces us to Burt, played by John Krasinski, and Verona, played by Maya Rudolph. After Verona finds out she is pregnant and their only nearby relatives, Burt’s parents, are moving to Belgium they decide to find a home elsewhere by visiting friends and family from across the country. They travel from Phoenix to Tucson to Montreal and Miami to find the perfect fit, but rather than mold and change to fit into other people’s lives they discover just by looking at their own life how at home they really are.

This is a warmly funny and sweet relationship film. The couple hits the road (and airways, and rails) to find their place as a family. A nice one to watch with your kids as they get ready to have your 1st grandchild...just be the one in the kitchen getting the popcorn during the first couple minutes.

John Krasiniski (Jim from "The Office") and Saturday Night Live alum Maya Rudolph play an expectant couple, road tripping in search of the ideal parenting locale. En route, they encounter a host of variously dysfunctional family and friends, played by hilarious supporting actors: Maggie Gyllenhaal, Catherine O'Hara, Allison Janney, Jeff Daniels and Jim Gaffigan among others. No grand decisions are made, but as in all the best road movies, the journey proves more fruitful than the destination.

Sweet, sweet movie. Delightfully warm and unpretentious. Superb and low key acting by main characters. Soundtrack is great. Best and most believable performance by Maggie Gyllenhaal I've ever seen, and Allison Janney played an over-the top alcoholic and was disturbingly hilarious. See it!
