Can something be subtle and over the top simultaneously? This film seems to do that. Outrageously quirky characters made me laugh out loud. And afterwards I thought "Hmmm, interesting. How real of a portrayal was that?". A couple who is about to have their first kid, and have just been abandoned by his parents realize that they can choose anywhere to live. Where should they choose? The film tracks their journey to visit their friends and relatives in an effort to decide where they should move. We get to Phoenix, Tuscon, Madison, Montreal and Miami, discovering more about their relationship and what is important in life each step of the way. The friends and relatives are obvious caricatures that are fun to watch and let us poke fun at ourselves along the way. I was not provided the gut-wrenching hilarity that I was hoping for, but very enjoyable.
4-stars
