Editorial Review:
John Krasinski (The Office) and Maya Rudolph (Saturday Night Live) star in the heartfelt film that explores the comedic twists and turns in one couple’s journey across contemporary America. Anticipating the birth of their first child, longtime couple Burt (Krasinski) and Verona (Rudolph) embark on an ambitious itinerary to visit friends and family in order to find their perfect home. Featuring a remarkable soundtrack and an incredible ensemble cast – including Jeff Daniels, Allison Janney, Maggie Gyllenhaal, Catherine O’Hara and Jim Gaffigan. It’s the hilarious, witty film that critics are hailing as “absolutely extraordinary!” (Peter Travers, Rolling Stone)
Description of Away We Go [Blu-ray]:
Away We Go has an incredible mix of ingredients: A script co-written by Dave Eggers (author of A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius), directed by Sam Mendes (American Beauty, Revolutionary Road), starring the not-hugely-famous-but-always-excellent Maya Rudolph (Saturday Night Live) and John Krasinski (The Office), and featuring an astounding supporting cast that includes Catherine O’Hara, Maggie Gyllenhaal, Jeff Daniels, Allison Janney, Jim Gaffigan, and more. What’s even more incredible is that all these ingredients blend together into a truly marvelous but very non-traditional romantic comedy. For one thing, Burt (Krasinski) and Verona (Rudolph) are already a couple and expecting their first child. What they don’t know is where they’re going to live--so they set off on a tour of disparate locations (Tucson, Montreal, Miami) where they have friends or relatives, sampling not only different cities and climates but also different families. The social and emotional collisions that follow are sometimes very funny and sometimes heartwrenching. Away We Go starts quietly and, through subtle yet consistently delightful scenes, builds to a surprisingly potent end. This is a gem of a movie, not to be missed. --Bret Fetzer
Away We Go [Blu-ray] Reviews:
Amazing Movie! 
2009-12-27 - Quite honestly, one of my favorite love stories. Maya Rudolph and John Krasinski were just fantastic and their chemistry was magnetic. I highly recommend this.
Poor Rating 
2009-12-11 - I still have not recieved this DVD. It's now been over a month and my patience with this seller is slim to none. I've sent an e-mail last week and still have not recieved any response. Please take care of this issue.
Away We Go is a wonderful movie 
2009-12-08 - People who don't love this movie are crazy. Seriously. I LOVE this movie. I think that the people who rated it poorly did not watch past the first scene which may be a bit much for some. Watch it.
Great movie. 
2009-12-06 - Missed this one at the flicks, nice bitter sweet romantic comedy about finding your place with your new baby, good stuff.
Away We G ... PLEASE GO AWAY! 
2009-11-29 - A preposterous film that isn't funny at all. A very strange set of characters chasing, well, who knows what. It tries to hard to be quirky and to emulate the "Juno" soundtrack with its acoustic indie rock background score.
It didn't score with me.
I think I'd rather have my teeth drilled without Novocaine than to have to watch this boring flop of a movie again.
