Away We Go

September 30th 2009 10:49

Away we go is a movie about a couple, Burt (John Krasinski) and Verona (Maya Rudolph), who decide to find a new place to settle after their home is disturbed by the moving away of the soon to be grandparents of their daughter. Burts parents are moving 3000 miles away from them and since that was the reason they had moved into the neighbourhood they decide it is time to move on. This journey takes them on a long trip around the people they know finding different balances in life and eventually discovering the ones that suit them best.

It is a simple movie about two peoples lives and their intersection with rthe rest of the world. It is a simple story with no real excitment or major events it is just about life as it happens. It is a very funny movie though and not in an obvious way. There are no jokes as such just occurances which are funny because you can very easily imagine them happening. Most of the comedy in fact comes from facial expressions and knowing looks and it is not just something small that makes you think in your head, oh that was funny, it is laugh out loud that has you spilling your popcorn all over the floor. (I would like to take this opertunity to apologise to the cleaning staff at my local cinema) Ok I lied it is not all totally natural, a litlle of it is a bit out there. For example the hippy cousins with the family bed. Still none of it is unimaginable, every action is something that you can picture happening and the reality makes it funny.

The characters in this movie are sparkling. They are so alive that you will think you know them from the first moment you meet them. They are meant to be something a little different because that is the way people are, they are not all the same. Allison Janney I love as an actor anyway but in this she is great. You couldn't spend five minutes in a room with her character and but you can see how much Burt and Verona like her. What I like most about Lily(Janney) is the saddness that comes through in her bubbly and loud character. You feel for her even though she doesn't acknowledge the upset herself.
I really loved this movie, I can see why some people won't because of lack or excitement but it has everything that a good movie should. It is engaging and a pleasure to sit through.
