Verona De Tessant (Maya Rudolph) and Burt Farlander (John Krasinski) are in their early thirties and struggling to meet daily needs and build fulfilling lives as an anatomy artist and a salesman of insurance futures, respectively. When they learn they will soon become parents, they are confronted with the challenge of how - and where - to raise a child and build a happy family.
Six months into Verona's pregnancy, she and Burt visit their only family in the area, Burt's parents, Gloria and Jerry (Catherine O'Hara and Jeff Daniels), only to find that they have decided to move to Antwerp, Belgium, for two years a month before the baby is due to be born. Frustrated at Burt's parents' selfishness and ill-thinking, he and Verona see this as an opportunity to find somewhere else to raise their family.
Perfect definition of a conscious mind
Can lead to troubles of all sorts and kind
You're a sweet talker by definition
And a heart breaker in the encryption
Time with you
Your eyes are as bright as the sunrise
But your life shines through with no surprise
You're the only reason
Why my heart is still beating
Metaphorically speaking
Fighting drives and ... nights
Can lead to ideas and much inside
You're a sweet talker by definition
And a heart breaker in the encryption
Time with you
Your eyes are as bright as the sunrise
But your life shines through with no surprise
You're the only reason
Why my heart is still beating
Metaphorically speaking
Your eyes are as bright as the sunrise
But your life shines through with no surprise
You're the only reason
Why my heart is still beating
Metaphorically speaking
And you will never change your mind
And you will never change your mind
And you will never change your mind
And you will never change
Time with you
Your eyes are as bright as the sunrise
But your life shines through with no surprise
You're the only reason
Why my heart is still beating
Metaphorically speaking
Your eyes are as bright as the sunrise
But your life shines through with no surprise
You're the only reason
Why my heart is still beating
