Away We Go

I love this movie for the simple reason that it dispels the myth that “blood is thicker than water.” Don’t get me wrong, family is great but not always the best for one’s mental health.

When Burt (John Krasinski of The Office) and Verona, a mixed-race couple, share the news that they are expecting, his parents respond by moving to Europe. In return, the couple decide to embark on a road trip to find a place where they belong. This includes stopping off at the dwellings of various abnormal friends and family, which prompts Burt and Verona to wonder if they are better off alone.

It’s a fantastic ride, filled with a host of colourful characters and directed by the awesome Sam Mendes (American Beauty, Revolutionary Road), so only the hardest of hearts won’t be melted.

Rating: 4 outta 5.
