Away We Go Laughing Our Asses Off

Ah John Krasinski. Such an adorable lovable guy. Ladies love him cause he is sweet and has waited patiently to knock up Pam Beasley. Guys love him because while kinda a nerd, is the coolest guy in the office. Hiding cell phones in ceilings, connecting wire from Dwight's PC to the telephone pole, asking which bear is best. Classic.

And now that he has moved onto the big screen he has made another classic. Sam Mendes of American Beauty fame directed this funny warm movie about two "fuck ups" trying to find their niche in this world as their baby is on the way. The screen play was written by Dave Eggers who you should know of unless you live in a crack house. Eggers wrote The Heartbreaking Work of a Staggering Genius, You Shall Know Our Velocity, What Is the What?, and the screenplay for Where the Wild Things Are, which will receive 5 Eiffels because Spike Jonze can do no wrong. Yeah and all of those books are good, better than good, better than great, they are whatever comes after great.

Opposite John (playing Burt) is Maya Randolph ( playing Verona) who is from Saturday Night Live. Sorry I don't know shit about her, cause I stopped watching SNL when it stopped being funny.

Burt and Verona moved to Colorado so Burts parents (Catherine o'Hara, and Jeff Daniels) could help out with the baby. When the parents have other plans the couple decide to travel America and gasp, even Canada looking for the utopia to raise their soon to be flesh anchor.

I was seriously laughing for most of the movie whether it was Burt "cobbling" or Burt stealing a child and putting it in a stroller, Burt trying to find Verona's Va JJ. See a common theme here; Burt

John Krasinski was awesome in this movie as were his supporting characters. Jim Gaffigan is hilarious and still very very pale even after living in Arizona. Even Maggie Gylenhyal or what ever is good in her part, and most times I don't really like her. Maya Randolph, not so much. I see why I stopped watching SNL. She has her times but they are far and few. I guess she was cast for the seriousness.

I don't like giving out to many plot summaries as they tend to ruin the movie, so go in blind and just know it is funny and worth your money.







I give Away We Go 5 Eiffels for being one of the funniest movies not to come from Judd Apatow
