Away We Go is a quirky romantic comedy about a couple that finds themselves preggers but lacking a place to call home. Without fulfilling jobs or loving families tying them to Colorado, they set out across the country and Canada to find the perfect spot to raise their daughter. The film stars Mya Rudolf (SNL) as the pregnant girlfriend of Burt (John Krasinski of The Office), a struggling salesman. Although Rudolf proved her comedic talent again and again on SNL, she really shines in the more subtle but humerous role of Verona. In addition, Krasinski plays the endearing role of Burt perfectly and is as charming as ever. The movie also features the incredible talent of Jeff Daniels, Carmen Ejogo, Jim Gaffigan, Maggie Gyllenhaal, Josh Hamilton, Allison Janney and Paul Schneider.
If that isn’t enough, Away We Go is directed by Sam Mendes, who produced Revolutionary Road and The Kite Runner, as well as directed American Beauty.
This film has a bit of the Garden State feel but offers situations of pure hilarity. Although labeled a comedy, Away We Go has some incredibly thought provoking and moving moments.
If you’re looking for both funny and tender moments to curl up on the couch to, this rental is the way to go!
