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 liked the movie overall but I think more because of the relatability factor than the acting. I'm surprised that Barbara did not provide a better performance but I was satisfied with Seth Rogan's performance. Also, the script seemed forced and most of the of the good parts were wasted on previews therefore making the movie lackluster in it's appeal.

Very long & boring. The end had one sentence that made me smile. My husband fell asleep though & did not see it.

The Guilt Trip

by jbrosene

We really liked it. Surprised only 7 people in the theater...it was a 4:15 show.
No killing, no bombing, no fires, no violence...hard to find these days.

Guilt Trip

by Shady Bogeyman

Shoot the writers. Inane dialogue. Fairly good concept ripped asunder by dialogue any lame-o could have written. Hard to comment on the acting as there really wasn't any by the two stars. Rogan never got a chance to strut his stuff playing the straight man to Barbara being Barbara. What the hell was I doing there? Wife.
Guys, take your Barbara loving wife and pretend to like this. Then go home and claim your reward...........

Emotions

by mizsouth

As the mother of 2 grown sons, I totally related to the story line. I laughed out loud during much of the movie. THEN, came the sentimental parts.......I was moved almost to tears, which did actually come at the end. I was very moved by the story. I think both main characters were phenomenal in their portrayals.

Seth----no talent looser.

by luvstainless

Why does anyone give this Seth looser any acting jobs? He thinks entertainment is being foulmouthed and crude. He is an embarrassment to real actors. Seth you do not belong in front of the cameras! ------------ Hollywood ditch this clown. --------------

A MOTHER/SON ROAD TRIP RESULTING IN HEALING THEIR TENUOUS RELATIONSHIP.

by Peneflix

If only this interminable road trip would have just covered the state of New Jersey instead of an eight day jaunt from the Atlantic to the Pacific Ocean; tedium reigns, with intermittent levity. A mother/son "Joyce" and "Andy" (Barbra Streisand/Seth Rogen) bond over predictable quips and tons of shtick; weary of the overbearing stereotype of the smothering "Jewish Mother" and the smothered, pampered boy (who is approaching forty); Jewish mothers do not have a monopoly on suffocation of their progeny. Avoiding blatant heavy-handedness, religion is never addressed in "The Guilt Trip"...

Streisand and Rogen, also producers, have chemistry and save the scenario from topping (or toppling) the saccharine scale; their histrionics realistic, salvaging, placating their emotional commitment...

TWO & 1/2 STARS!!

A nice film with amusing humour throughout. :O)

by

This was a truly ENTERTAINING and engaging road trip kind of film, that has a truly significant lesson or two in the end, no literally it does. Also if you are a fan of Babs and / or her cute, pudgy side kick/SON, all the more enjoyable. I am a fan of both so... I was not sorry I went to see this one.
