From Academy Award-winning director Sam Mendes comes the heart-warming and uplifting Away We Go, available to buy on DVD from Monday, and we have a behind the scenes clip for you right here!
The uplifting and entertaining Away We Go from Academy Award-winning director Sam Mendes (American Beauty, Road to Perdition) features an all star cast and follows a young, loveable couple on their search for a place to call home packed with comical and touching scenarios along the way.
Longtime (and now thirtysomething) couple Burt (John Krasinski) and Verona (Maya Rudolph) are going to have a baby. The pregnancy progresses smoothly, but six months in, the pair are delivered news from Burt’s parents Jerry and Gloria (Jeff Daniels and Catherine O’Hara) that they are moving out of Colorado – thereby eliminating the expectant couple’s main reason for living there.
As Burt & Verona ask themselves ‘what does it mean to have a family these days’ they take a road trip to visit friends and family in the hope that they will find the perfect place to put down roots and raise their child.
Encountering various endearing and amusing mishaps and misadventures along the way, the pair reconnects with an assortment of eclectic relatives and old friends, who just might help them discover “home” on their own terms for the first time.
The trip takes them from the greyhound tracks in Phoenix, Arizona to Burt’s recently broken-hearted brother in Miami, Florida via Tucson, Madison and even Montreal! As the journey unfolds the couple’s eyes are opened to a diverse range of (occasionally unorthodox!) parenting methods, close and enduring friendships and strong and loving relationships, as they learn what matters most.
Here’s the clip:
E1 Entertainment will be releasing Away We Go on DVD on 1st February. For more information visit the official website at http://www.awaywegothemovie.co.uk/.
