The Guilt Trip

Get ready for one mother of a road trip


The Guilt Trip
A young man invents a new cleaning product, and embarks on a road trip across the country to pitch the product to supermarkets. He decides to take his mother along, after learning about the boyfriend she had before she married his father. Mom instead uses the opportunity to nag her son about his lack of girlfriend or wife. In the end it's your typical road trip movie, where the characters go from A to B and have assorted adventures along the way, and, in this case, a lot of talking.

95 minutes.

Ilan Preskovsky quote iconTake too little laughs, add some unconvincing drama and top if off with a thoroughly irritating walking stereotype and you're left with one trip that's really not worth taking.
5
ScreenIt
C. Fuchs quote icon While nothing special and certainly nothing novel, the chemistry between the leads works well enough for what the script asks of them, and both Streisand and Rogen appear game and comfortable enough to take the rote material and run with it.

Rottentomatoes tomatometer
Tomatometer quote iconSeth Rogen and Barbra Streisand have enough chemistry to drive a solidly assembled comedy; unfortunately, The Guilt Trip has a lemon of a script and is perilously low on comedic fuel.
