One to see

Rico says we went to see Away We Go last night, and so should you. Besides being a sweet love story (especially if you've ever been pregnant), it has an incredible collection of actors, many of them from television shows you'll recognize:
John Krasinski, the father of the unborn child, worked on The Office.
Maya Rudolph, the pregnant girlfriend, worked on Saturday Night Live.
Catherine O'Hara, who plays Krasinski's mother, did SCTV and Waiting for Guffman and played Allie Earp in Wyatt Earp.
Jeff Daniels, who plays Krasinski's father, was in a bunch of movies and played Joshua Lawrence Chamberlain in Gettysburg.
Allison Janney, who played an ex-girlfriend, was in both The West Wing and Two and a Half Men, giving her a sweep of the Sheen family (and why weren't they in this?)
Jim Gaffigan, who played Janney's husband, was in a bunch of television shows.
Maggie Gyllenhaal, who played another ex-girlfriend, was in The Dark Knight.
Melanie Lynskey, who played the wife of one of his friends, was also in Two and a Half Men.
All in all, a great cast and a great movie. (But how did O'Hara and Daniels ever have this nice Jewish boy? Genetics is amazing, at least in Hollywood...)
