Review: Away We Go

Friday June 5, 2009
Away We Go - Dave Eggers, Sam Mendes

Literary super star couple Dave Eggers and Vendela Vida wrote the sceenplay for Away We Go, the story of Burt and Verona (John Kransinski and Maya Rudolph), a thirty-something couple who take to the road in search of the perfect home for their unborn baby. Sam Mendes directs -- and he lays it on thick, with broad humor, sweeping sunsets, and theme music instructing the audience just how to feel.

Away We Go opens in theaters today. Marcy reviews.
