Enjoyable Enough

by robinjonesnc

This movie is just okay. I went with my 23 year old son and he was very bored. I would rather have waited to see this on DVD than spend the money and time going to the movies. My son's comment "It was a typical romantic comedy, but between a mother and a son". As a mother, I got a little teary at the end. I liked it more than he did.

Thoughts ON Guilt Trip

by

It was a great movie!! It was realistic and makes you think about life and what's important. I love the ending where it left you hanging making it wonder what's is in store and what is going to happen. Maybe even going on the making The Guilt Trip 2 someday. It was so hilareous as well!! It was a Really good Movie!!

Better Than You Think

by united9198

This is a sweet and funny movie that will warm you up. Seth Rogan fans will recognize and like his grown up character and the chemistry with Barbra Streisand seems genuine and well done. The plot is somewhat familiar because this is a road trip, but there are some twists that make this a more grown up version.

There are laughs and some tears, but overall I rate this as a comedy well-done. I enjoyed it a lot and the audience seemed to agree as there were many laughs heard throughout the theater.

Lots of movies out at this time of year, but this one will really fit the season.

Go to Guilt Trip with your older son or daughter

by tootsie

This movie was really good! It was so relevant for a mother with a 20 something child. Both of us were in stitches.Seth and Babs had great chemistry! It's also refreshing to see a movie that kept the time to an hour and a half.

Don't feel guilty if you decide to wait for this to come out on DVD

Overall, the movie was a bit slow and might have made for a better story to be told via book. Though in theory this might have been a good screenplay to read - it played out on-screen a bit slow and tedious. Though I will give props to the positive ending and overall message, which for me was - Things never turn out as you plan them to turn out - they turn out even better!

Go See It

by jmccloy77

If you want to see a lighthearted comedy, without the dirty jokes or a lot of explosions, go see this one. This was a great film. I thought Seth Rogen and Barbara Streisand had great chemistry in this one. There is a message being delivered here. I would highly recommend seeing this one. If you are expecting the dirty jokes and graphic scenes, u wont see it in this one. Just a good all around comedy....Go see It!!

The Guilt Trip

by Terryb10

I was disappointed in the Guilt Trip. It is suppose to be a comedy and there were very few laughs. I have a neighbor that only wants to go to movies that will make her laugh. She kept saying to me during the movie, "I picked another bummer". The son character was very nerdy which took away from the movie. There were only 2 good scenes in the movie. In the western restaurant and the last scene with the daughter. In the last scene we both looked at each other an went, "Ohhhhh". It could have been a very good movie put it wasn't. Poor writing and direction. Sorry to give a bad review but don't waste your money.

Guilt Trip

by Allan Singer

Snoozeville. A few laughs but overall a little too dry.Not a fun Streisand movie.If you really have to see it because Streisand is in it, then rent it, but honestly, don't waste your money!

The Guilt Trip

by rgwoods9507

This movie was funny from beginning to end. Barbra Streisand was perfectly cast as the well-meaning, yet meddlesome mother. The movie also had it more tender moments. The movie moved along at a good pace and was never boring. I highly recommend this movie for audiences of all ages.

Guilty pleasure

by Trekiemom

One of the funniest movies I've seen. Some of the things that happened were things I remember. Not the argument, of course, but I was the mother.

Just saw it with my son

by melbro64

It was sweet, touching but slow. I really enjoyed Barbara-Seth was rather drab but he is playing a chemist. It really did not have enough content for a full movie and definitely not enough laughs. It would have been perfect to rent as a video.

Go See It!

by

People may be hesitant to see this movie because it stars Barbra Streisand, but go see it! It's very funny and delivers on what it says it will give. It's a light hearted comedy about a Jewish mother and son, which should make you laugh just thinking about it. Obviously this movie isn't going to win any oscars or awards, but it's very cute and worth seeing.

Simple and sweet

by

The Guilt Trip is not a broad over-the-top comedy like the "Fockers" franchise. It's much more simple and sweet - about a Mother and Son who finally come to appreciate their similarities and their differences. Streisand and Rogen have such a natural and fun chemistry together - it was that that really drove this buddy picture. Some of Barbra's best, most natural acting so I do hope people will go see this film in the theatres. She's that good in many of the scenes. Rogen too - very different and honest in this picture. There are many laughs sure but the film felt more like a dramedy to me than a laugh-a-minute holiday romp that was advertised. I've seen it twice and enjoyed it both times.

for moms

by larcd8835

went to see the movie with a group of friends, all moms of sons, movie theatre had mostly women of our age there. we all laughed and clapped, one of the best movies we've seen. but it's for a specific audience. you'll "get it" if you're a mom of a son or a son, not really a movie for everybody.
