Away We Go (2009)
1/10
Conscious uncoupling
13 July 2014
Two people with no chemistry and no appeal pretend to be the best imperfect normal couple and bore us all to death with their utterly contrived road trip to find the best imperfect home to raise their unborn child. Along the way they meet other parents that are mostly unbelievably flawed so that best imperfect couple can feel sensibly smug and constantly reaffirm their Gwyneth and Chris commitment. To my mind, this is Middle England's hideous 'aren't we nice' banality and passive aggressive self congratulation brought to the USA alongside a soundtrack that sounds like it's chosen by an old man trying to be an unironic hipster. There is no story, just a thin weave of pointless anecdotes. There's absolutely no reason to watch this and it's in danger of making one stay celibate and childless rather than have a life so dull. The most uninteresting, nay painfully tedious film I've ever seen. Lord save us good movie fans from such arrogant mistakes.
