Away We Go
by Dave Eggers and Vendela Vida

Longtime couple Verona (Maya Rudolph) and Burt (John Krasinski) have a plan—move next to Burt's parents to raise their soon-to-be born child. But when grandpa and grandma get other ideas (like relocating to Belgium) the young couple hits the road in search of the 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 what they're looking for.

"Utterly winning and achingly romantic! Allison Janney is scarily funny. A smart/funny script by Dave Eggers and Vendela Vida." --Papermag
