Synopsis:

"Burt and Verona are two characters rarely seen in the movies: thirtysomething, educated, healthy, self-employed, gentle, thoughtful, whimsical, not neurotic and really truly in love." -Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times

"Rudolph, a comic force on 'SNL', can speak volumes with the tilt of an eyebrow. She and Krasinski, of 'The Office', are absolutely extraordinary. Ditto the film, which sneaks up and floors you." -Peter Travers, Rolling Stone


Longtime (and now thirtysomething) couple Burt and Verona are going to have a baby. The pregnancy progresses smoothly, but six months in, the pair is put off and put out by the cavalierly delivered news from Burt’s parents Jerry and Gloria that the eccentric elder Farlanders are moving out of Colorado – thereby eliminating the expectant couple’s main reason for living there. So, where, and among whom of those closest to them, might Burt and Verona best put down roots to raise their impending bundle of joy? The couple embarks on an ambitious itinerary to visit friends and family, and to evaluate cities.
