Cute But a Little Slow

by lambournes

The funny parts on mostly on the trailers. A good Older son -Mother relationship. Both Finding each other. It was just OK for me. I guess the trailers spoiled it a little for me. Expected a little more.

Great movie for mom & daughter day out

by kimmy-doodle

This movie was so funny. My mom and I laughed until we couldn't breathe. Barbra & Seth make a great team. You feel like they are mother and son. It's not only funny but a touching story too. Good for the whole family and make sure to stay through the beginning of the credits.

Guilt Trip Baggage

by pleazthesweaz

Guilt Trip - Though it could have been pulled over for going too slow in the the fast lane, there were some sweet and funny off ramps in this mother/son road trip comedy. While Streisand provided motherly advice like a rapid fire paint gun, Seth Rogen provided his standard, but entertaining, annoyed teddy bear performance. It was enjoyable, but on the Pleaz the Sweaz scale I could have waited to pay the toll at Red Box.

A Good Time

by ladder41

My wife and I went to see this movie. We can totally relate to the characters and storyline. Funny with some serious undertones...well put together.

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 Wldtrky2k

With the characters it was funny, but it wasn't as funny as I thought it would be. The movie got boring in some parts. but the characters in the movie did make it funny in certain scenes. I would not go see it again. and I would tell my friends that they should wait to see it when it comes out on video.

It was an okay movie. It wasn't funny enough to brag about.

Guilt Trip

by 4myeyezonly

Awh! This is a mood movie for those who are close to their mother and mother's who want to spend more tme with their child(ren) when the child is grown and really doesn't interact much. It will make you smile a bit and touch your heart when you see how each sacrificed for the other. All I can say is kisses!

Not really a comedy

by southcityca

Listed as a comedy, I did not laugh out loud once. I laughed more at the preview of other movies!!! Entertaining movie about the adventures of a son and his Mom on a long road trip. The mother/son exchanges may make some feel uncomfortable. As always, there's a happy ending (but not the one you expected). Wait to watch this one on TV.

All-round good movie

by sagguy

Showing a relationship between mother and son, sweet, touching, funny, sincere. She always wants the best for him, and him for her, but living with some pre-contrived notions about him as well as herself. They both learn and grow from there week journey across the country; just a nice movie as compared with some of the nonsense out there.

Intelligent comedy

by exp93

If your young and you looking for someone to push someone in the pool and laugh or a food fight to laugh, this isnt the movie. this movie is about family. barbara did a great job in playing my mom. geez she reminded me of her. there are no cheap laughs and after about 10 mins its obvious. the movie is a good movie to see and clean. a must see.

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.

Funny and light Maybe you have to be Jewish or Italian to laugh

by Msdds1799

If your looking for action pack this is not the movie. But it is funny, in a nice way. I went with my 25 year old son ( he treated me) and we both laughed through out the movie. It reminded us both about our own relationship, almost like they took a page out of our book. Maybe that is why it does not appeal to everyone, because it is more specific to that theme of relationship. But honestly, we both laughed a lot. Go see it if you had a close relationship with your mother or one with your sons.

I Relate

by sunnyfader

After a slow start the movie takes off... triggering smiles and outright laughter. Excellent script, great performances. But as a mother of two grown single sons who live far away, I must admit that much of the joy of this movie for me was that I "related" so much to the story. My daughter easily communicates her love for me, but over the years it as been different with my unmarried sons. This movie is a wry take on the complex communication problems between mothers and sons. While it is fun for everyone, it resonates particularly for single mothers who have reared an independent, loving, but sometimes confounding son.

My advice to anyone interested in "grown-up" movies that touch your heart and your funny bone: Don't miss "The Guilt Trip."

Good laughs

by Ronnailene

While much of the movie was predictable, it was very enjoyable. The two main characters played off each other well & made for a very funny and pleasant movie. With all of the violent movies around of late, it's refreshing to be able to sit back and experience a lighter,comic fare.
