a pretty good little film...

i went to see a movie tonight that i knew nothing about, Away We Go.

the only reason i went was because more than a few of my friends suggested it--"seriously". i wasn't sure what that meant, but it made me curious. i never did get around to looking it up, so i walked in utterly clueless.

it was a good movie. i liked the way it reflected how we are all our own special form of quirky or broken. the beauty of it for me was the way it showed people fitting together. the main characters... two lovely people finding their way... it felt very real life. i saw two people who appreciated each other and accepted each other.... i think that is a valuable message that gets over shadowed by unrealistic expectations in the real world.

i usually cry at movies, and after the first five minutes, i expected to at this one. maybe i'm just numb these days; i don't know. it did feel a little too real to me--not the pregnant part. :)

regardless.... i know that i'm late to the party... i liked it and think if you haven't seen, perhaps you should consider it... there's a great scene with an airplane reflection in a building that will make you giggle and think of dolphins.
