... View MoreBeautifully - amaziningly - delightful movie! My best review! I'm getting a message saying my review is too short and that sucks because everything I wanted to say was in the heading and the first line! This movie left me feeling so emotionally hopeful and happy and loving that, frankly, I didn't want to say anything else. I'd hoped you'd discover this gem from the earnestness of my few, "too short" words alone. Well, with that hope dashed, let's see if this small addition helps to tempt you (& get this printed!). Trust me on this.
... View MoreTwo people with no chemistry and no appeal pretend to be the best imperfect normal couple and bore us all to death with their utterly contrived road trip to find the best imperfect home to raise their unborn child. Along the way they meet other parents that are mostly unbelievably flawed so that best imperfect couple can feel sensibly smug and constantly reaffirm their Gwyneth and Chris commitment. To my mind, this is Middle England's hideous 'aren't we nice' banality and passive aggressive self congratulation brought to the USA alongside a soundtrack that sounds like it's chosen by an old man trying to be an unironic hipster. There is no story, just a thin weave of pointless anecdotes. There's absolutely no reason to watch this and it's in danger of making one stay celibate and childless rather than have a life so dull. The most uninteresting, nay painfully tedious film I've ever seen. Lord save us good movie fans from such arrogant mistakes.
... View MoreAway We Go is set as a comedy drama surrounding a couple getting prepared for the birth of their unborn child. Although the original driving focus of the narrative is preparing for their unborn child, somehow Away We Go gets lost in a world full of zany characters and situations.Away We Go is formed via a number of segments in which the protagonist couple Burt and Verona meet with former acquaintances whilst attempting to find the perfect home for their unborn child. The zaniness is all too apparent through out the majority of the narrative, from Verona's former boss Lily acting cruel towards her kids for laughs along with her ridiculous attitude and Burt's childhood friend LN showing the couple her radical opinions on childcare. Such scenes do not contain an ounce of comedy as I'm guessing was the initial purpose. This kind of so called comedy continues as Away We Go goes further into its ludicrous world by having brief segments of Burt and Verona acting over the top or having discussions which miss the mark from a comic perspective. In my opinion it does not add anything meaningful to the narrative.However amongst all this wackiness there are glimpses of serious drama which benefits the narrative rather than filling time. In a touching scene with his friend Tom, Burt learns of Toms Wife's recent miscarriage whilst she relieves her inner pain by dancing on a strip pole. Odd as it may sound it makes the scene a poignant moment for Burt realising the strength it must take to keep a family unit together and how some can buckle under the pressure. This vibe continues in the latter stages of the narrative as Tom's sister in law leaves his brother alone with his young daughter making Burt and Verona reflect on their situation, promising to stay strong for themselves as well as their unborn child. These examples of reflection on part of the characters give depth not only to themselves but to the narrative as well, which is sorely missing from Away We Go. If it had been more fluent with this tone then I feel Away We Go could have been a better film.Reflecting upon Away We Go overall it has an uneven mix of mostly comic action and touches of clarity which if it had more of the latter then it would have been a better rounded movie.
... View MoreThis movie was not what I expected at all. Maybe the fact that I went in with low expectations made it better for me. It was a quiet movie, slow moving and such a small piece of the characters' lives that at first I wasn't sure what story they were trying to tell, but it doesn't, nor should it, end with a baby being born, it ends with them coming a little bit closer to understanding where their place in the world is and what they want for themselves and their children.The acting was fantastic from the two leads. Krasinski thankfully surprised me with being able to be something besides a variation of the Jim character and I look forward to seeing what else he is capable of. Maya Rudolph was a revelation. I've seen her effortlessly slip into "big" characters in all her years on SNL, but to see her play someone so subtle, breakable but resilient was fantastic. Their scene together on the trampoline remains to be one of the most poignant that I've seen in years.The journey with them is worth taking. Give it a shot!
