About this product

Product Information

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.

ReviewsHollywood Reporter - [The] production values have a nice, grassroots texture, including Ellen Kuras' cinematography and John Dunn's costume design..., Movieline - Krasinski and Rudolph do their honest best to play it like a shabbier, less symmetrical Wes Anderson. Naturally Mendes gives them just the right, tasteful music cues to really emphasize the sweetness of it all, Film Comment - Krasinski's 'baby stroller blow-up' is acted with genuine anarchic spirit, and Rudolph gets a nice monologue under an orange tree toward the film's end, USA Today - John Krasinski and Maya Rudolph are one of the most appealing and believable screen couples to star in a romantic comedy. Not only do they project chemistry, but they adeptly switch between broad comedy and poignancy, sometimes in the same scene, Washington Post - [The film] feels like a respite from the false happily-ever-afters of most mainstream movies....The appeal of AWAY WE GO is heightened by its two stars..., Box Office - [Rudolph] gives a wonderful turn that is certainly the best work of her career, TV Guide - Few movies deal with feelings this profound with as much restraint as Mendes and his crew display here, Empire - The lead couple are so charismatically written and played that even an uneventful trip on a train becomes high comedy... Krasinski is effortlessly likable as Burt, but Rudolph is a knockout... a charming look at one of today's best directors cheerfully cutting loose, New Yorker - Some of the episodes are ripely satirical, others almost heartbreaking, Chicago Sun-Times - Burt and Verona are two characters rarely seen in the movies: thirtysomething, educated, healthy, self-employed, gentle, thoughtful, whimsical, not neurotic and really truly in love, Rolling Stone - Rudolph, a comic force on [SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE], can speak volumes with the tilt of an eyebrow. She and Krasinski, of THE OFFICE, are absolutely extraordinary. Ditto the film, which sneaks up and floors you, Entertainment Weekly - A gilded entry in the cinema du quirk. It's a movie that invites you, all too often, to feel superior to the people on screen. Yet it's been designed, shot, and edited with unusual finesse, and the two main characters are fresh screen types
