Mike Birbiglia never wanted to be a father. In fact, there are seven very specific reasons he never wanted a kid, including his aversion to sticky surfaces and his less-than-ideal genes: he's had Lyme Disease, a bladder tumor, diabetes, and dangerous sleepwalking, to name a few. Not to mention the fact that Mike generally doesn't think people (including himself) are really all that great. Then Mike's wife, poet Jen Hope Stein, becomes infected with the contagion "baby fever" and convinces him she'll do all of the parenting and that their lives don't have to change because of future baby Oona. Yes, he bought that line. In a hilarious memoir about the trials and tribulations of parenting, Mike Birbiglia shares anecdotes all parents can relate to, including laugh-out-loud observations on the lead up to being a parent, the birth of the baby, and the very messy aftermath of bringing this new one home...for a forever stay! Borne out of and based on his Broadway show The New One, and entirely expanded upon with at least 50% new material for this book, new dad Birbiglia will have you crying from laughter and smiling with joy as he falls in love with baby Oona, despite how smelly she is! Mike's candid thoughts on his reluctance about becoming a dad, what he describes as being the "pudgy milkless vice president of his family," laced with Stein's poetry combine to form a heartfelt and hilarious book.

Lynn Shelton directs this low-key British drama telling the story of three unhappy people brought together in a remote cottage. Over a year after the death of his brother, Tom, Jack (Mark Duplass) is still in emotional turmoil. His best friend, Iris (Emily Blunt), suggests that he make use of her family's secluded holiday home to get away from it all and gather his thoughts. However, Jack arrives to find the house already occupied by Iris's half-sister, Hannah (Rosemarie DeWitt), who has come to recover from the breakdown of a long-term relationship. When Iris unexpectedly joins them the following morning, it soon becomes clear that all three have their reasons for hiding away from the world. As their relationships deepen and intertwine over the coming days, all three come to learn a lot about themselves and each other.
