Overview
Verona and Burt have moved to Colorado to be close to Burt's parents but, with Veronica expecting their first child, Burt's parents decide to move to Belgium, now leaving them in a place they hate and without a support structure in place. They set off on a whirlwind tour of of disparate locations where they have friends or relatives, sampling not only different cities and climates but also different families. Along the way they realize that the journey is less about discovering where they want to live and more about figuring out what type of parents they want to be.
If you look closely you can almost see the numbers by which this painting…errr…movie was created. How much more formulaic could this be? I’ll save you from having to watch it: the couple has awkward conversations and every now and then the husband says something outrageous to break up the monotony. They then travel around to meet other outrageous characters in outrageous situations. During the course of it all some excellent actors have to camp it up with awful dialog. What a waste of a great cast. I turned it off halfway through.
