This is a authentic & heartwarming film that sheds some much needed light on one of the many gray areas in life. The one where you're finally stable enough to fathom spawning but also finally fulfilled enough to enjoy the fruits of your life long labor (to this point) and celebrate without having to be responsible for human life... But the clock is ticking. Falling in love is the easy part and I think we've all seen enough movies about that. Charming and honest, this film is packed with obviously funny moments as well as subtle "chuckle to yourself" relatable moments that connect you to all of the characters in one way or another.. It's basically an adventure to babyland that doesn't hold back from addressing the real bummers we all face along the way, and manages to make them all seem less heavy through the ever refreshing "I've totally been there" moments. Regardless of if you have kids or not, I recommend checking this film out - it's a pleasure to watch and simply uplifting without being cheesy or sensationalized.

There comes a time in everyone's life where you come to a fork in the road... will you keep doing the same thing that makes you incredibly happy, or will you take a risk to do something else that might make you even happier? Channing and her husband Chaz, played believably by the film's director, Kestrin Pantera, and her real-life husband, Jonathan Grubb, have a pretty rockin' relationship. They truly love and respect each other and manage to make each day full of fun and creative vision (and rockstar partying). So, yeah, why eff up the perfect life with having babies that keep you up all night and day and seriously change your whole dynamic? The journey of maturity from awesome, kid-free hipsters to even-awesomer, hipster parents is a very fun and sweet story that made me so happy to watch. If you ever dreamed about having a life in which your friends are the coolest, most creative and fun people you know, then you will fall in love with this movie and all the characters in it. The lush, beautiful cinematography is a standout for an indie. And the film's lead actress (and director) Kestrin Pantera is clearly a creative force. I hope to see more of her both in front of the camera and behind the lens. Bravo!

So, where to start. This film was just a delightful surprise. I had no idea what to expect and was so happy I selected this film to watch. The acting was wonderful. Every one of the actors turned in a fabulous performance from top to bottom. As someone who teaches acting, I was struck by the truth of all of the characters.And I loved the premise. It wasn't some simple road story. It was a carefully crafted story with some simple twists and turns. The dialogue was clean and concise, always driving toward the conclusion. I like that.The little montages of editing that happened often in the film made me feel the warmth of the friendships. The editing was a high point for me.Lastly, the RV was so much fun. As a Bay Area resident I wish I had seen this vehicle. I wonder if it had been to Burning Man.I highly recommend this film. Congrats to the filmmaker.

This is a fun debut film from Kestrin Pantera who has taken on aspects of her own life and the people she knows, and made them into a quirky film that looks at relationships, wants and needs within these structures, and how couples deal with the next issue after two people married: kids and well,...how to make a living while keeping your significant other happy. Refreshingly, the film examines gender roles in regards to children, and without being too heavy handed, sends some different messages about women's relationship with the issue of having children or not, all relevant topics for the modern world. The characters are fun, and the use of a Kickstarter campaign is a great eye catching way to get the viewer into the story. Enjoyable watch.
