“Away We Go” is far from becoming a box office success, with its total earnings coming in just over $4 million, at the time of writing this article. Although, box office performance does not make or break a movie’s artistic quality. Director Sam Mendes got a standout performance from Rudolph. And the supporting cast, including Jeff Daniels, Maggie Gyllenhaal, Allison Janney and Catherin O’Hara, adds serious clout.
Rudolph should learn from her SNL friends’ acting follies, and avoid slipping into B-movie oblivion. She is on track to becoming a serious big screen contender. Should “Grown Ups” turn out to be a creative success, Hollywood needs to give Rudolph more chances as a leading lady. And, Lorne Michaels should consider himself lucky for discovering her abilities early on.
