The Guilt Trip
Before embarking on a once-in-a-lifetime road trip, Andy Brewster (Seth Rogen) pays a visit to his overbearing mother, Joyce (Barbra Streisand). That proves to be a big mistake; Andy caves in under pressure to take his mom along for the ride. Early on -- as the miles roll by -- Andy feels nothing but aggravation at her antics. Eventually however, he comes to realize that they have more in common than he first thought and that Joyce's wisdom might be just what he needs.

The movie is one big feh. The ''action'' is a collection of pit-stop-to-pit-stop set pieces... Read full review here

...painfully unfunny movie with this dull slog across America... The inevitable irritations, revelations, accusations, and reconciliations occur, and through it all, Rogen and Streisand almost never change expression... Read full review here

By turns amusing and touching, director Anne Fletcher's picture, which sees both Streisand and Rogen in top form, registers as enjoyable fare for grownups... Read full review here

This is a very good character movie. It rolls along, just like the trip they are on. If you need lots of noise and blood to keep you entertained, this one isn't for you. If you like real character stories, this will do just fine!

This movie was a waste of my time. I was hoping that this movie would be funny. I felt like I was waiting the whole movie for it to take off. This is a movie that I will not be buying. If you want to see it get it on a redbox and take it back the same day.
