The Guilt Trip (12A)

Photo Credit
Starring: Seth Rogan (Andrew), Barbara Streisand (Joyce)

Plot: Inventor Andrew sets upon a cross-country journey to pitch his cleaning invention to high end buyers but invites his single Mother for the ride to introduce her to an old flame. Along the way both Mother and Son learn to tolerate each others annoying habits and Andrew eventually benefits from his Mothers wisdom.

The Guilt Trip appears to be a very light hearted, predictable film but in fact it surprised me by being funny, heart warming and entertaining. Rogan and Streisand have great chemistry and fit well as a Mother-Son duo. I really enjoyed watching Streisand on screen - she has an air of authority and grace with great comedic skill. Rogan is always a favourite for me, very likable and charming but he is outshone by his co-star in this film.

Rating: 6/10
