As for Away We Go, like I said in my review, it probably has a lot to do with personal identification.

I saw it as Mendes showing he could make a standard run-of-the-mill, quirky indie comedies like every other cool young US director does. I found it nondescript, mildly funny at times, painful at others, formulaic and way short of his regular work.

And I love Mendes, especially American Beauty, Jarhead and Revolutionary Road. Each of those films had something to say that seemed worth saying. But then, if one likes films like Juno, Towelhead, Little Miss Sunshine, etc, maybe this could be your thing.
