Away We Go

American Beauty director Sam Mendes’ breezy, indie comedy Away We Go hit theaters in a limited release last month, but has now arrived in Baton Rouge and is screening at Cinemark Perkins Rowe. Written by The Believe and McSweeney’s publisher Dave Eggers, the indie dramedy stars a hirsute John Krasinski (The Office’s Jim Halpert) and former SNL star Maya Rudolph as an expecting couple in search of the best place to raise their child. The quest takes these generationals on a quirky, misadventure across the country. Jeff Daniels, Maggie Gyllenhaal, Allison Janney, Catherine O’Hara co-star. Rated R.
