Hellen I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much

Solemplex To me, this movie is perfection.

Kien Navarro Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

Zandra The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

p-stepien When Verona (Maya Rudolph) and Burt (John Krasinski) find out that their conjugal relationship has brought about a pregnancy, they are both joyous and fret with fear about the future. Verona's parents passed away years ago, whilst Burt's have decided to move to Europe for two years, irrespective of them becoming grandparents. This causes the pair of soon-to-be father and mother to seek a new home, somewhere where they would have soul-parents to share their fate. This causes them to travel across the US and Canada, observe various family models and strive to find a place where they would fit best.Sam Mendes, after a tiresome and unconvincing "Revolutionary Road", changes tone and exits out of his comfort zone to deliver a muted comedy with some true appeal, if limited integrity. The opening quarter of an hour actually had me wondering if the concept on offer by Mendes would work, as the humour is most often unobtrusive, instead lingering, slowly building to form a atmosphere of laughter, instead of gag with a punch line. The endearing leads slowly grasp the situation, never allowing themselves to fall into ridicule, but keeping an honest, charming and contemplative feel to their angst of parenthood. This is basically a couple you would love to know, love to have your kids grow up with and despite their oddities one of the most heartfelt pairings in American cinema.That doesn't mean Mendes doesn't have its flaws, as occasionally the concept turns to gimmick for a bit of cheap laughter, especially problematic when he turns his attention to jab at the liberal upbringing methods of LN (Maggie Gyllenhaal) and Hamilton (Josh Hamilton), lacking any sensitivity to couples choosing different family models. This is especially striking given Verona and Burt are hardly your conventional family, still somehow come off are offensively judgemental to models that don't fit their set views - inadvertently making them problematically close-minded, something that obviously wasn't the intention of the director. This lack of integrity does seriously harm the overall message of the movie, leaving "Away We Go" to be enjoyable family comedy with some insightful outlook into the changes brought about by parenthood, but lacking the clarity and conviction to cope with the bigger picture.

alsation72 Who are these people "loving" on this film?? Seriously?? I bet you own Juno and own 20 extra copies to give to friends as presents.The music ... oh good Lord the music. So irritating, trying so hard to be upbeat alternative. Did they steal the Juno soundtrack and try to mix it up a bit. Music was so thoroughly irritating. You're going for an "indie" feel, we get it ... NOW SHUT UP!This film just reeks of desperation, it is trying so very hard but was - for me - not easy to sit through. Desperate to seem quirky, it crosses the line into ham territory. A couple learn that they are to have a child, and for no apparent reason besides the man's parents moving away, decide they have to cross the country to find a place to raise the child. One thing to mention is that not for one moment did I sense any sort of true chemistry between this couple. They were reading their lines and doing their shtick and that's about it. John Krasinski was a bad choice; he's trying too hard to disassociate himself from the office and be 'serious' that his personality is impaired the whole time, he can't particularly act that well at the best of times but here ... Maya Rudolph is not leading lady material - though I do like her - I just don't believe the character, sorry.So they go off, visiting friends and distant relatives each more contrived and irritating than the last. One woman talks about her breasts, a man pours syrup on pancakes for what seems like an eternity. The Nazi-parenting lady. All just thrown in by the writers to be clever or add dimension? Just why the behaviour of their old friend's and acquaintances has any bearing on the way they raise their own child, and where, is lost on me.After ruling people out as potential 'surrogate family groups' and the places they inhabit, they are called to Florida for a crisis , and then ... voilà!Maya Rudolph *suddenly* remembers she had a childhood home and its nearby, and its empty and it looks like something out of a catalog for window coverings. They open the whole house up and sit on the back porch. Wow ... could it be so easy? APPARENTLY! *Baad righting* Bad, bad writing. So contrived!No wonder this was on at 1:30am on a Sunday morning. I'd have rather watched the steam-mop commercials that usually play at that time! 2/10

LapinKulta Burt and Verona, a couple in their mid thirties, are looking for a city where Verona would give birth to their child and they would start to make a living. Does it make any sense? No! Anyhow, Burt and Verona seem to believe that the perfect city is defined by the presence of their family members and friends, because that would make perfect condition for their child to grow. Does that make sense? Definitely not! Burt is jobless, but he does not seem to care if there is a job for him in the cities they are considering. Rather, they care how well they get along with their friends. How much sense does this make? Very little. And, it always takes them one evening out to realize they do not get with their friends well enough to settle there. How much sense does it make? Are cities like Phoenix, Tucson, Montreal and Miami (which they visit) really too small for two families? Maybe the movie is supposed to be a comedy, so one should not look for a logical plot, but the movie fails on other accounts as well. Besides the absurdity of the plot, acting is rather bad. Particularly that of Maya Rudolph. She reads her lines without any emotions, without any change of tonality of her voice. Her bad acting is followed closely by John Krasinski who keeps one single expression throughout the movie, hidden behind thick glasses and beard. On top of bad acting, the two make a very awkward couple. She is seven years older than him in real life, but looks like his mother in the movie. The age difference was emphasized even more by his childish dressing style. He dresses like a high-school kid, for a reason which remains obscured.I stopped watching the movie when Burt was making phone calls in the hope to find his brother´s wife – while jumping on a trampoline!!! How could Sand Mendes, the maker of "American Beauty" (one of my favorite movies), make this disaster is beyond me.The movie deserves one star because the music was not done by Thomas Newman. At least Newman´s talent was not wasted on this awfulness.

trixie-k-88 There is nothing I don't like about this movie. It's original, heartfelt, funny, and charming. It manages to make you laugh, cry, and feel completely satisfied.Away We Go is about Burt (John Krasinski) and Verona (Maya Rudolph), a quirky, 30-something couple who are expecting a child. The two are troubled over the fact they will have no extended family for their child when she is born, what with Verona's parents passing away while she was in college and Burt's jetting off Belgium for two years. Their inconsistent, freelance jobs allow them to travel around North America in search of a new home around family and friends. Throughout the film, Burt and Verona encounter good parents, bad parents, and crazy parents. Along with that, becoming is mother is making Verona truly face the grief she has over losing her parents a decade earlier.Krasinski and Rudolph have great chemistry, and I like the fact that the jokes are not based off gender differences, often used in romance comedies. The jokes are focused more on their or other characters' craziness or silliness. Either that, or the realistic funny situations they get themselves into. This movie is fantastic, and will leave you with a smile, perhaps even with a few tears. A must watch if you are expecting a child, or questioning parenting styles!
