Running Time : 98 mins

Burt Farlander (Krasinski) and Verona De Tessant (Rudolph) are expecting their first child together, and have move to live near Burt’s parents so that they can share in the experience with them, but when Burt’s folks decide to move to Belgium the couple make the decision to find somewhere else to live, with people that they care about who will be there for them. So they begin and road trip to find somewhere new to live.

I thought this was a really good, well observed comedy that had just the right level of additional pathos to make it both witty and touching. Krasinski and Rudolph are a likeable couple, and I liked that it felt believable that they were together but weren’t a perfect couple. With a string of guest stars that all put in sterling performances, this is a must see.
