Oh, boy, am I excited about this one! Dave Eggers is at it again—after providing the screenplay for one highly anticipated travel movie, he offers up a second flick: Away We Go.

The story follows a young couple, expecting their first child, as they travel America in search of the perfect home for their new family. John Krasinski (aka Jim from “The Office”) and Maya Rudolph play the leads, while the likes of Maggie Gyllenhaal and Allison Janney fill out the inevitable cast of quirky characters encountered en route.

Go ahead, watch the trailer, and tell me this doesn’t look like a smartly-made mix of sentimentality, humor and road-tripping goodness:

“Away We Go” hits theaters in June.
