Whatever Sam Mendes‘ Away We Go (Focus Features, 6.5) actually is, this just-posted trailer sells the impression of a wise and witty upscale family comedy with a truth-sadness undercurrent. It’s about an expectant couple looking for the ideal place to live. My only concern is the casting of The Office‘s John Krasinki and SNL‘s Maya Rudolph in the leads. This will sound odd, but as I watched I was saying to myself, “They look too much like real people.” I didn’t even recognize Krasinki with the beard. Not that he’d be Mr. Charisma without it.
