The Guilt Trip


Movie: The Guilt Trip
Genre: comedy
Synopsis: Andrew Brewster (Seth Rogen) is a bio-chemist who has invented a new cleaning product.  The problem is that he cannot get anyone to market it.  He has a cross-country road trip planned to make one last stab at getting some store chain to market it.  Andrew lives in Los Angeles.  His widowed mother, Joyce (Barbra Streisand) lives in Brooklyn.  She is the stereo-typical over-protective Jewish mother.  Andrew asks her to accompany him on his road trip.  The trip – and their relationship – goes through a few ups and downs.

My two cents: This was a cute movie.  The road trip was pretty funny and their were some nice moments between the two.  There is a twist when they hit San Francisco that I did not see coming.  Barbara Streisand needs to do more movies.  She is hysterical as Joyce.  I had forgotten just how funny an actress Barbra Streisand is.  And I have to say that she is looking pretty damn good for a woman in her 70’s.
