Away We Go (2009)

Sam Mendes had to make “Away We Go” after the nasty “Revolutionary Road.” In this drama/comedy, a couple (John Krasinski and Maya Rudolph) expecting their child travel the United States and a bit of Canada to find their home, and their future. They, of course, succeed while affirming their love for each other. Quirks and all. It’s a cute and lovable film that regularly crosses into blech "I wuv you!" cuteness. The best bits come from the supporting players of Jeff Daniels, Allison Janney, Maggie Gyllenhaal and Melanie Lynskey, among others, as eccentrics who have remain devoted to love despite all its hardships. Krasinski’s goofy behavior and wardrobe grate. B-
