QUICK TAKE: Dramedy: An unmarried couple travels around the continent looking for an ideal place to live and raise their pending child. PLOT: Burt Farlander (JOHN KRASINSKI) and Verona De Tessant (MAYA RUDOLPH) are an unmarried couple who are expecting their first child together. When they learn that his parents -- Jerry (JEFF DANIELS) and Gloria (CATHERINE O'HARA) -- are moving to Antwerp for two years, they realize they're no longer tethered to their current locale and can choose where they'll next live and raise their child.

Accordingly, they decide to travel to a number of places, starting with Phoenix where they visit Lily (ALLISON JANNEY) and Lowell (JIM GAFFIGAN), but realize that Verona's former coworker is an awful parent. That's followed a trip to Tucson to see Verona's sister, Grace (CARMEN EJOGO), after which they visit Burt's unofficial "cousin," LN (MAGGIE GYLLENHAAL), a new age professor he's known since they were kids, and who's living with the like-minded Roderick (JOSH HAMILTON).

They eventually head off to Montreal where they stay with Verona's college roommate, Munch Garnett (MELANIE LYNSKEY), her husband, Tom Garnett (CHRIS MESSINA), and that couple's happy, adopted kids, and eventually head down to Miami to see Burt's brother, Courtney (PAUL SCHNEIDER), whose wife has left him and their young daughter. Yet, for all of their traveling, Burt and Verona realize that appearances can be deceiving and that they must chose their own path for their family. WILL KIDS WANT TO SEE IT? Older teens might be interested if they're fans of anyone in the cast and/or director Sam Mendes, but it doesn't otherwise seem too likely for any other kids. WHY THE MPAA RATED IT: R For language and some sexual content. CAST AS ROLE MODELS:
  • JOHN KRASINSKI plays an insurance salesman who wants to be the best dad possible to his pending baby. Accordingly, he travels around the continent with his pregnant, live-in girlfriend, trying to find the best place to start their family, although he's disappointed that Verona is strongly opposed to getting married. He uses strong profanity and drinks.
  • MAYA RUDOLPH plays his pregnant, live-in girlfriend who doesn't believe in marriage and thus doesn't want to marry him, but is obviously committed to Burt. She uses strong profanity and can't believe the behavior of and comments from some of those they visit.
  • ALLISON JANNEY plays Verona's former coworker who turns out to be an awful parent (by being demeaning to her kids in front of them -- she also uses strong profanity), much like her husband played by JIM GAFFIGAN who drinks as does she.
  • MAGGIE GYLLENHAAL plays Burt's unofficial "cousin" who he's known since he was a kid. A new age type professor, she has various quirks and idiosyncrasies that don't mesh with Burt or Verona. JOSH HAMILTON plays her like-minded partner who lives by the same sort of philosophies.
  • MELANIE LYNSKEY and CHRIS MESSINA play Verona's former college classmates who seem to have a perfect life with all of their happily adopted kids, but they have some big disappointments in their lives. They drink some.
  • CARMEN EJOGO plays Verona's sister who uses some profanity and wonders why she never wants to talk about their deceased parents.
  • PAUL SCHNEIDER plays Burt's brother who's reeling from his wife leaving him and their young daughter, with him being concerned about how that's going to affect the young girl.
  • JEFF DANIELS and CATHERINE O'HARA play Burt's happy parents who don't seem to have given any thought about moving out of the country after Burt and Verona have moved nearby to raise their family close to them. CAST, CREW, & TECHNICAL INFO

But he stops, saying she tastes different, but when she says she can shower, he says it's not dirty, just different, and fruity.
