The film is about a couple, Burt and Verona, in their mid 30s trying to figure out what to do with their lives when Verona becomes pregnant. Still leading college student lifestyles, they realize the need to change their lifestyles and environment to welcome their newborn baby.
What follows is a trip across North America to visit friends and family to hopefully find the ideal place to raise their kid. Through these colorful characters and interesting encounters, they reevaluate their lives and their own relationship.
Their tones are playful, yet they are serious at what they are looking for. The movie is funny and touching, and the characters are extremely natural in their roles. It also has nice supporting cast, including Jeff Daniels playing Burt's dad and Maggie Gyllenhaal in a very memorable part as Burt's childhood friend.
「房事告急」，是導演Sam Mendes在重量級電影Revolutionary Road「真愛旅程」之後的一部小品。故事描寫一對三十出頭的情侶Burt與Verona在女主角懷孕之後，認真考慮改變原本的簡陋生活方式，以迎接他們的寶寶。
為了給未來的孩子最健康的成長環境，他們跑遍北美各地，找尋他們的親朋好友。每當拜訪一位，如果沒有立即看到他們家庭生活環境上的問題，也會漸漸看到表面完美的家庭下的缺點。這也是使他們不時反問自己，他們真的準備好成立家庭，撫養小孩了嗎？要是有一天有任何事情生變，小孩的一生從此就這樣毀掉了怎麼辦？
雖然二主角對話時而白爛搞笑，但是又很負責任地認真思考未來人生的規劃。這部電影的調子很輕鬆，有趣，但也很感人，也是適合情侶們一同去觀看的好電影。~~
