Highly Recommended: Away We Go

Did you like Juno but get sick of all the "honest to blog" slang?

Then go rent Sam Mendes' latest Away We Go, starring John Krasinski of The Office and Maya Rudolph of Saturday Night Live fame and enjoy.

For starters, can I just say how awesome Sam Mendes is? Honestly, the guy is just stellar.

He's directed five films: American Beauty, Road to Perdition, Jarhead, Revolutionary Road and this one.

Let's see, that's incredibly awesome, awesome, pretty awesome, haven't seen it yet but the critics said it was awesome and instant Top 10 awesome.

This film is equal parts smart and smart-ass, and littered with great performances by Allison Janney, Maggie Gyllenhaal and Josh Hamilton, while Rudolph and Krasinski are a perfect offbeat pair.

Or as she describes them at one point and I have now officially adopted for Sarah and I, "I think we might be fuck-ups."

I don't roll out the Highly Recommended segments that often, but when I do it's with good reason.

Rent this movie. Put down that copy of Observe and Report or whatever other crap has come out that you were thinking of watching and watch this movie.

As always, you can thank me later.
