Member Rating:  
When slacker thirtysomething couple Burt (John Krasinski) and Verona (Maya Rudolph) discover that his parents are moving overseas, the duo -- who expect their first child in a few months -- set off on a cross-country tour to figure out where they should lay down some roots in Sam Mendes' poignant comedy Away We Go. They visit a number of different cities, and meet with a different friend or family member's family at each stop. Their hosts include a set of emotionally detached parents (Allison Janney and Jim Gaffigan), a pair of overprotective new-age parents (Maggie Gyllenhaal and Josh Hamilton), and old college pals (Chris Messina and Melanie Lynskey), who have adopted a number of kids. Novelist Dave Eggers wrote the script with Vendela Vida. ~ Perry Seibert, Rovi

The movie is both funny and interesting. The characters are exaggerated for comic effect but the search for one's place in life (the main theme of the film) is shown in a deeply affecting way.

This movie was great. It was not only a good love story, but also a very smart comedy. It is a very enjoyable watch. Give it a try!

Adorable couple. Makes you realize how different all our experiences are in life. How important it is to create your own and take it as it comes.

This movie was ok. I watched the whole thing, thinking maybe the plot would pick up, or I would start feeling more attached to the characters. I didn't like how grumpy Maya's character always was and that she didn't ever want to get married. I sympathized more with Jim's character, but even so, I was disappointed that I watched the whole thing and didn't feel any emotion about the ending.
