Away We Go is a great little movie that stands up to repeat watchings.
In his review of Away We Go, Roger Ebert rebuts Tony Scott’s NYTimes review of the same.
“Away We Go” opened last week in New York and Los Angeles, and now rolls out after lukewarm reviews accusing Verona and Burt of being smug, superior and condescending. These are not sins if you have something to be smug about and much reason to condescend.
And as Ebert points out, these types of people do exist - the film’s writer, Dave Eggers, is a brilliant example of walking-the-talk.
I liked Ebert’s last line:
“This movie does not like you,” sniffs Tony Scott of the New York Times. Perhaps with good reason.

An Apology (in the sense of the third OED definition) I liked Juno because of how mad

get people so heated whether they love it or hate it: it’s hard to be really passionate about a film as a piece of art...
