The Guilt Trip

by bpstump

The only thing good about it was it's length--90 minutes. Don't waste your money. The story plot was weak and the story line quickly got old.

Lots Of Fun...

by Dennis in Oregon

I was pleased to see an almost filled theatre with a wide range of ages enjoying this funny, touching movie...

Barbra and Seth were very good together. I would not mind seeing them together again...

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.

Guilt Trip

by wwileman

i liked the movie a lot. the suttle humor from the son may have been missed by some but i thought it was very funny.
i felt sorry for the "daughter" who's sole line was basically "hi, i'm Joyce" had such a small part. but, a part that brought the whole movie together and shocked everybody. (i think)

Great movie!

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."

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.

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.

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.

Not what i expected

by

The fact that Barbara Streisand and Seth Rogen play in a movie and there not be some sort of Jewish guilt going is beyond me. There were some funny parts but not as funny as id wished. Waiting for Seth to get nother knocked up knock out.

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.

Funny at times, very funny

by

The characters personalities and quirks were awesome. I could really identify with them and recognize them as people that I know in my life.

The story was weak.
Semi-predictable.

It's a movie for those who want to chill out and enjoy a good time. Thee is no cinematic or artistic scenes in this movie.

I should have rented it.

Babs makes the trip

by corbisayler

B.S. has not lost a beat. She brings her best, but it's not really enough to carry this slow drive. It has some sweet moments, but most of it is just too realistic to be entertainment. Dudes & kids will hate it. I with with my 74 yr. old mother and 65 yr. old friend and they found it 'ok'. I think I was the youngest chick in the audience and I'm 51.

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.

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.
