A film that’s small in scale, sizeable in achievement.

Michael celebrates Sam Mendes' Away We Go on DVD…

Truth be told,Away We Gowas badly marketed.

4 stars

Heck, it still is.

In fact, it is a work of tender, genuine charms.

Thirtysomething Americans Verona (Maya Rudolph) and Burt (John Krasinski) are expecting their first child.

4 stars

It is all an excuse to spend time with the characters, who are warm and likeable.

This subtle complexity givesAway We Goa gentle resonance.

It results in a film that is small in scale, but powerful in its emotional involvement.

4 stars

Otherwise, there are two mildly diverting, if not incredibly informative mini-featurettes.
