The couple embarks on an ambitious itinerary to visit friends and family, and to evaluate cities. The movie features the music of Alexi Murdoch; the cast includes Jeff Daniels, Carmen Ejogo, Jim Gaffigan, Maggie Gyllenhaal, Josh Hamilton, Allison Janney, Melanie Lynskey, Chris Messina, Catherine O'Hara, and Paul Schneider.
