Away We Don't Go

It's not often I bother posting a warning about a pop culture experience. But unless you are an aficionado of annoying movies, I urge you not to see Away We Go, directed by Sam "Revolutionary Road" and "American Beauty" Mendes, with an appealing cast (John Krasinsky, Maya Rudolph, Catherine O'Hara, Allison Janney, Jeff Daniels, etc.) and an uber-irritating script by the smug Dave Eggers and Vendela Vida. I've never agreed with a review more than A.O. Scott's takedown in today's New York Times.
