Away We Go
"A couple who is expecting their first child travel around the U.S. in order to find a perfect place to start their family. Along the way, they have misadventures and find fresh connections with an assortment of relatives and old friends who just might help them discover "home" on their own terms for the first time."

I love John Krasinski, and I love Maya Rudolph. John Krasinski played a less-full-of-himself version of Jim from The Office, which is a good thing. And who knew Maya Rudolph could play it straight? There were a couple surprisingly funny scenes (Jim Gaffigan has a role), but there were moments that were too cliche and obvious (I'm looking at you, Maggie Gyllenhaal). The soundtrack tried a little too hard to be "indie," but the movie was overall enjoyable and I recommend it.
