Away We Go



This is a no brainer. Just go see it. I was lucky enough to actually go on a date with my wife at the historic HollyWood Theatre, which made the night even better.

Its a snappy breezy encouraging movie that somehow makes a insurance salesman appear hip. Maya Rudolph is just the bomb. She is about as real as they come.

The concept of built in grand parents is soon demolished as the only living parents decide to move to Brussels right before the baby birth.

I like the idea of a whirlwind tour to visit various defective families of North America to decide where to live to end the cycle of being a Fvck Up. Nobody in their right mind would move to Arizona and especially given the odd ball denizens encountered there. Madison albeit a lovely place, is inhabited by old zen yoga friends who give unasked for parental advice. The stroller scene is just funny as hell. Montreal, the logical place for anybody to move, is angelic and our parents to be claim too early that they are going to move here.

They not only decide where to live but how to live.

A sudden trip to Florida to aid a divorcing brother is a Malaprop (I think) and a reflection into family lost, which some how leads the couple to where they always should have been. I think. Exactly where that is purely speculation.

its a simple movie, its smart and its quirky. Just go see it Rob.
