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.

Slow Beginning and stays that way....

by

Not really what i thought it was going to be.... Was a slow start and just stayed that way... Finally had me looking for my phone to see what time it was... It was kinda cute, but dull sappy humor.. All the funny parts were shown in the trailers... Wait for it to come out on tv, don't pay to see it.

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!

"Guilt" Pleasure

by matthowe

I enjoyed THE GUILT TRIP a lot. It is a very sweet film. Don't let the trailers fool you into believing it's a raucous FOCKERS-like comedy. There's no dirty jokes or special effects or explosions in The Guilt Trip?just some great Streisand/Rogen chemistry ... and a big heart.

It's a small movie about a mother and a son.

And what a pleasure to see Barbra back on the big screen! As Joyce, she hits all the right notes. Barbra is so relaxed and natural in the movie. Rogen plays "embarrassed son" well, and his character does some growing up over the coarse of the movie.

Bring your mom, a date, or a friend. The end is touching and might bring a tear to your eye.

The Guilt Trip

by bklyngrammy

This is a pleasant movie. It will make you smile a lot, not guffaw, and you'll leave the theater in a good mood. Not a bad way to spend time at the movies.

The Guilt Trip is guilty of trying to be a comedy

by ebng448

The best laughs were in the TV advertisements. Barbra Steisand is excellent as the neurotic Mother. Seth Rogen is good at being the continuously anxious, socially uncomfortable and unaware son who is trying to pitch a product with no idea how to accomplish his goal. Interesting trip across country with some expected outcomes. Not what I would recommend for a good set of laughs, more moments of anxiousness watching people stumble round each other. Would wait till on pay per view of NetFlix

Guild Trip

by joan.vandemark

This is a great moving for a mom to see with her son. I went with my husband who liked it and thought it was funny but keep thinking I should be here with my 24 yr old son.

Yay for Barbra!

by kittentess1975

I absolutely love Barbra Streisand, and I have seen every one of her movies.

This was so very enjoyable, and believable ~ she makes a wonderful Mother :) And Seth Rogen fit amazingly well as her son.

This movie was very touching in parts and also hilarious in parts, as it explored the dimensions of the Mother-Son relationship.

Barbra is always fantastic and beautiful, and she still looks great! Thank you for bringing her back to the movies!

A Funny comedy that is great to watch anytime

by universal21

I was looking foward to this movie ever since I saw the trailer at Taken 2, but I wasn't excepting this at all. A perfect mother/son movie that will make everyone in the theater, if there wasn't just 4 people in the audience including me and my mom.Seth Rogen tries his best with his character and for PG-13 rated humor but also fails half the time with his jokes. Barbra Striesand is the movies big star and will always be a great comedy to me. Don't be fooled by the trailers great sense of hilarity because it also has some dramatic parts. All and all a great comedy that will be great for anyone over the age of 12. See it or buy it on DVD

The Guilt Trip

by hspchdoc

I thought this movie was a big snore. The writing wasn't clever and the story was unbelievable. The actors didn't have a chance. As Shakespeare said it was, "Much Ado About Nothing".

Hire a comedy writer!

by Nicknb

At best this would make an average movie for TV. I understand why people liked it...I wanted to like it, but IT JUST WASN'T FUNNY OR ALL THAT GOOD. Seth Rogan's acting job could have been done by a robot, and Barbra carried the movie with a good solid character. They really needed some great comedy writers to bother making this movie. Although it was easy to follow and had pleasant moments, on my scale of 'I paid $10. for this movie', I want $9.50 back!

I Feel Guilty

by joelegal

This movie was a "guilt trip" to me as well. It is so boooooooring! Those that claim the movie is funny are probably the type that laughs at funerals. I should have realized something was wrong when my wife and children did not want to see it and I was sitting in the theatre with just one elderly couple. One of the two began to snore within 20 minutes of the picture starting.

Watching the grass grow would have been time better spent. At least I would not feel so guilty for spending $12. However, I'm grateful that my family decided to skip it and save me an additional $60 (with concessions).

Skip this one. No doubt it will be on DVD very soon and you will be able to get it for free at the library. Even then it will not be worth your time.
