OK...not exactly laugh out loud funny, this delightful and understated little film left me with a warm glow and and wry smile,and was overall a worthy and rewarding experience. It's American Beauty with heart, beautifully performed, superbly photographed and a terrific soundtrack too. Don't be put off by less enthusiastic reviews, if you have a heart that can feel and a mind which can think, you'll love this little gem.

I was really looking forward to seeing this film based on the strength of American Beauty (also directed by Mendes) Unfortunately, 'Away We Go' fails to deliver. Though I found the scene with the excellent Maggie Gyllenhaal enjoyable, there were (quite frankly) too few interesting moments to sustain this pretentious pap of a film. If you're finding it difficult to sleep at night I highly recommend this movie.

Whoever marketed this film was quite clever with their tag line 'a laugh out loud movie' but they were also telling a bit of a white lie! Its not a classic Rom Com and there were hardly any laugh out loud moments, in fact for the first half of the film I had a job staying awake. However, as the film went on it did get better and it does contain some lovely insights into modern parenthood, friendship and relationships. It also contains some really good cinematography but the symbology might be lost on many viwers.
