Away We Go
If you're reading this, you're probably trying to figure out if you should go see this movie when the critics do not seem to have given it very good reviews. If you're a guy, like me, you're probably doubly concerned because your wife or girlfriend really wants to see it and you're thinking, can't we go see "Terminator" or "Pelham 123" and wait for it to come out on DVD? Well I saw it last night (with my wife) and definitely enjoyed it. It was funny -- at times really funny -- and thoughtful, but not in a mind-bending or blow-your-mind kind of way. Disclaimers: I am 40-something with 2 small kids, so I could relate to the theme, and I enjoy movies like "Flirting with Disaster" and "Best in Show," which this movie reminds me of. If you don't like quirky indie movies, then push for "Pelham 123," or ask your wife to go see it with one of her girlfriends.
