(Synopsis) Verona (Maya Rudolph) and Burt (John Krasinski) are an unmarried couple in their thirties, who are expecting their first child. They live in Denver close to Burt's parents, since Verona's parents had passed away. They thought their life was going great until they found out that Burt's parents were leaving the country for two years and would not be there for the birth of their grandchild. Verona and Burt decide to go on a road trip and travel around the U.S and Canada to find the perfect place to live to call home and bring up their child. They travel to Phoenix, Tucson, Madison, Montreal, and Miami where they either have relatives or friends living. Along the way, they are also looking for the perfect family as a role model for them to follow in raising their daughter. As with all new families, they discover their own way.
(My Comment) With each stop on their trip, they encounter their unsure future at being parents. As they travel around the country in search of a supporting family member, former coworkers, or college friend, what they expected usually turns out differently. They are more confused than before and see how difficult life is in raising a child. In the end they discover that "they're not losers" after all. The film delivers a good mix of hilarious comedy and human drama. Especially, the scene about the fruity taste is something you will never forget. There are plenty of funny scenes, but there are also some serious introspective moments as well. The movie doesn't offer any solutions to life except that you are on your own, and that is the way it should be. The character development was good, because you feel for them, and you want them to succeed. In the end they learn more about themselves as their love and their baby grows. I think any young couple can relate to this movie. (Focus Features, Run Time 1:38, Rated R) (6/10)
