Mar 17 2009'Away We Go' Trailer, Because Being 33 or 34 is ROUGH

Hey, 20-somethings: time to stop hogging all the lack of direction! Being in your early thirties is quirky and smothered in non-diegetic music too! Example: this trailer for Away We Go, directed by Sam Mendes, written by Dave Eggers and Vendela Vida, starring John Krasinki, Maya Rudolph, et al.

Maybe life is about the journey, yeah?

Obligatory hand-written graphics? Check!

Looks Sweet, still liked her playing a hooker in the other movie with the other wilson guy

"Are we screw ups?"

Yes, you are. Life isn't that hard.

aaaaaaaaaaaah. how cutesy wootsie movie. i think this would be a good movie to fall asleep to. kinda like football. just its the soothing sound of a football crowd.

what trailer? what FUCKING TRAILER? it's not showing up for me.

33 is the new 26.

I'm 40.

I saw Star Wars in the theater when I was 8 -
I had an atari with asteroids/space invaders when I was 11 -
Footloose was in theaters when I was 17 -
Grunge was born when I was 23 and the there was no internet in college. -

If I were 33 or 25 I too would be lost for identity. You pretty much missed it all. The upshot is 40 year olds have an identity crisis of sorts too; it seems that the experts on these above mentioned topics are all somehow 22 years old.

The only thing this movie is good for is getting your girlfriend in enough of a warm fuzzy mood so she'll give you a hummer later.

Forty six this year, snowflakes.

I love it when sitcom actors grow a beard for their movies (I'm looking at you, Steve Carell).

My favorite part of the trailer was when I thought Allison Janney's character was married to Phillip Seymor Hoffman. Then I realized it was that dude who's always whispering some shit about hot pockets.

John Krasinki looks sooo "edgy" with his new Indie-Beard®. We know he's thoughtful and deep because of his patented Indie-Beard®.

There is a reason why sitcoms are not 2 hours long, and a reason why certain actors land in sitcom land. This trailer pretty much shows why.

Indie-Beard. oops. Was that trademark infringement?

Actually looks like a nice movie.
Must be cause I'm 30.
And a screw-up.

I saw this trailer, thought about it for a few minutes, watched it again, and yep, it's sh*t. Not gonna see this one, even if they're giving away free fake, ghey, indie beards so I can look like a total tool like the douche in this movie.

(but i'm sure hippies, ignorant college students, and mid-life crisis people will love it)

Wife and I, 33 & 33 respectively with a 9 month old daughter. That is nothing like my life. Guess life sucks because we're not "whimsical" or "precious" and if some friends acted like that about a stroller I'd probably beat them with it. Why does everyone want to make a screwed up life seem cute (I'm looking at you Juno).

Dissing indie films is the new indie?

Man, I just can't keep up with what's "cool" anymore.

Alright, this does look like crap, but come on no need to diss on Juno. Juno is and will always be hilarious. I thought maybe i was deluded the first time i saw it but when i went back to see it a second time, i was wrong, it still ruled. I mean come on, classic lines "That ain't no Etch-A-Sketch. This is one doodle that can't be un-did, Homeskillet." or "Either I just peed my pants or um...
THUNDERCATS ARE GO!". Any movie that quotes the Thundercats for its pre-pregnancy scene is by definition awesome.

Don't be so hard on this movie. It may seem a little self-consciously cute but that's standard operating procedure for most indie comedies. I, for one, am just excited to Maya with a leading role. She never really got credit for how good she's been on SNL, probably because most critics were too busy overpraising Poehler and Tina Fey. (I am a fan of all three. I just think people should spread the love a little.)

I am with 16 and 18. Everybody else can go back to their PC's, play WoW and listen to Default.

Man, f*ck Juno!
