201095 min6.4 / 10

A comedic buddy-road-trip film about an uptight father-to-be forced into an unlikely partnership with a lovable slacker, driven by warmth and humor rather than darkness or existential stakes.

Peter Highman must scramble across the US in five days to be present for the birth of his first child. He gets off to a bad start when his wallet and luggage are stolen, and put on the 'no-fly' list. Peter embarks on a terrifying journey when he accepts a ride from an actor.
