AWAY WE GO: Verona and Burt (Maya Rudolph and John Krasinski) are 30-somethings with a bun in the oven, ready to abandon their impoverished student lifestyle and settle down to grown-up lives.  They engage in visits to family and friends in the U.S. and Canada, doing some lifestyle comparison shopping, in a whimsical, charming, sometimes heart-tugging movie of both edge and charm.  Written by the novelists Dave Eggers and Vendela Vida, directed by Sam Mendes (American Beauty). (R) Three and a half stars – Roger Ebert

THE MERRY GENTLEMAN: In his directing debut, Michael Keaton plays a suicidal hit man, Kelly Macdonald is the woman whose scream saved his life, and Tom Bastounes is the recovering alcoholic cop on the case.  But this is nothing so simple as a crime story, and the focus is on a worthwhile woman trying to relate to two difficult puppies left on her doorstep.  Moving in ways that are far from expected.

TRANSFORMERS: REVENGE OF THE FALLEN: The plot is incomprehensible. The dialogue of the Autobots, Deceptibots and Otherbots is meaningless word flap. Their accents are Brooklynese, British and hip-hop, as befits a race from the distant stars. Their appearance looks like junkyard throw-up. They are dumb as a rock. They share the film with human characters who are much more interesting, and that is very faint praise indeed. (PG-13) One star — RE
