“The Best and the Brightest” follows a fresh-faced couple, Jeff (Neil Patrick Harris) and Samantha (Bonnie Somerville), and the lengths they must go to in order to get their daughter into a New York City private kindergarten. An oddball consultant, Sue Lemon (Amy Sedaris), gets them an interview, but it’s based on a lie: that Jeff is a renowned poet, instead of the humdrum computer programmer he is in real life. (Dir. Josh Shelov)
