When I saw the preview for Away We Go, I thought "Ok, so JUNO for grown-ups." I had completely misjudged it. The dynamic between John Krasinski and Maya Rudolph was so natural and sweet that even though it had its affectations and quirks, they didn't feel contrived like other "cute" relationships in movies. Both Krasinski and Rudolph toned down their well-known styles of humor, and hit on a believably subtle style of acting which was equally warm, funny and relatable. The screenplay was written by Dave Eggers and his amazingly-named wife, Vendela Vida. I'd recommend it. It was heart-warming.

Remember when I said "I agree" and "I feel the same way"...? Wasn't that a nice moment? I thought so.
