Away We Go (2009)

This movie was alright. I liked the story, and I REALLY liked John Krasinski's beard.
The story of a couple (and soon-to-be parents) trying to figure out where they want to raise their family, and how to properly nurture them to be healthy individuals, while at the same time stay attracted to each other, is really sweet, and isn't seen that often. This film represents stage two of romantic love in film. 99% of films deal with the first stage where two characters find themselves attracted to one another, and are trying to figure out how to communicate this lust for one another, but also trying to avoid potential heartbreak (which happens regardless, and then couple hook up at the end). So it's refreshing to see a film that starts after all that drama has happened and is done with.
John Krasinski is probably the man of most girls' my age dreams. He always plays a charismatic down-to-earth chap that is not afraid to tell the woman he loves, hey, I love you (dude, you're making all the other guys look bad, ha).
There are also a few awesome brief supporting actors that steal their scenes: Catherine O'Hara, and Allison Janney.
In the end this movie might be worth checking out. The execution is decent, but I don't feel like it stood out. I suggest watching it if you want something light, and also doesn't suck ass.
