Away we Go

Great movie with a great soundtrack (see the songs here).
Great independent film, very ambitious, shot in numerous locations. Its about a young couple, well not so young, early 30's, who are expecting a child and travel around to relatives and friends to see where they want to settle. Its more than that. The pregnant mom thinks they are flops, she is 34, they live in a run down house, drive a beat up Volvo, and I think they wonder if they couldnt have been "more" than they are. They are not married, but they have a wonderful relationship. I think the movie is really about the parents they want to become, and in their travels they meet relatives and friends but its really about observing the parenting styles that others have. Its funny, laught out loud, but also sad, I mean tears, esp when they visit friends from college in Montreal, who have adopted 4 children, but mourn the loss of their miscarried babies. They observe that some people have children easily and are awful parents, but some people who are great parents have such heartbreak conceiving children of their own. the end is great, beautiful. the soundtrack really lovely. No violence. And you get to travel all over the country with them. Overall, a great movie, enjoyable.
