Plot: Directed by Academy Award winner Sam Mendes ("American Beauty") from an original screenplay by Dave Eggers and Vendela Vida, this funny and heartfelt film follows the journey of an expectant couple (John Krasinski ["The Office"] and Maya Rudolph ["Saturday Night Live"]), as they travel the U.S. in search of the perfect place to put down roots and raise 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. The movie features the music of Alexi Murdoch.
Thoughts: Sam Mendes director of Revolutionary Road, Jarhead, Road to Perdition, and American Beauty brings you a movie that feels completely different. This movie has a very independent feel and reminds me a lot of Little Miss Sunshine. Based on what I have seen and heard thus far this movie has actually piqued my interest. I am not sure how good the actual movie will be, but I would have to give John Krasinski’s beard an A+ and that is enough to make me want to see it.
