Away We Go

At a Glance

  • The complete screenplay for the film about one couple's search for a place to call home
  • Includes an Authors Note from Dave Eggers and Vendela Vida
  • Interesting take on the classic road trip genre by two novelists-turned-screenwriters

The first original screenplay by Dave Eggers and Vendela Vida, and directed by Academy Award-winner Sam Mendes, Away We Go finds longtime couple Verona (Maya Rudolph) and Burt (John Krasinski) expecting a baby, and the impending child's only living grandparents are moving to—where else—Belgium.

Burt and Verona head out on the road, across America, looking for the right place to call home. Along the way they encounter a succession of strange and hilarious friends and relatives (played by a cast that includes Jeff Daniels, Catherine O’Hara, Maggie Gyllenhall, Josh Hamilton, Allison Janney, and Jim Gaffigan), most of whom have no idea what they’re doing.

In the end—with and despite the help of those they meet on their journey—Burt and Verona come closer to an understanding of their own definition of home and family.
