Movie Trailer: Away We Go
Yet another film about losers.

Look at the products our generation makes our ourselves. It seems that one half of the films released are fronted by stupid superheroes and the other by listless losers who can't handle the basics of life. By looking at the cinema one has to come to the conclusion that this society is fronted by a generation of adult children. Over and over again, films about half-man wimps in the prime of life not knowing how to be adults.

I've been around enough film and theater professional to know my share of big time losers, real wastes of air but the average American isn't as stupid and rudderless as film makers want us to be.

It is possible I am way off about this film. This could be a touching, heart warming flick for all I know. But its premise, its appearance speaks to the larger issue of how the cinema is portraying us to us.

Speaking to the trailer itself, it offers no reason to see the film. Its not funny, its not even quirky - its just annoying lethargic.
