Delightful comedy that sinks right in...

While "The Guilt Trip" is not the type of comedy that will have you spilling your drink from laughing so hard, this is a movie not to miss out on. Why? Well, because it was a great story and the movie was nicely told.

The story is about Andrew Brewster (played by Seth Rogen) who travels across the USA with his mother Joyce Brewster (played by Barbra Streisand). Andrew has invented a fabulous cleaning product and is struggling to get companies interested. Their cross-country roadtrip gives them plenty of opportunities to get to spend time with one another in various situations.

"The Guilt Trip" is really a beautiful movie, because Seth Rogen and Barbra Steisand really play their characters so well, and the writers did a wonderful job in fleshing out and detailing the characters. The script is well written and there is a great sense of wholeness to the story.

I was surprised by "The Guilt Trip", because I hadn't at all expected this outcome from it, especially not with Seth Rogen being in one of the leads. I am not saying that I have anything against him, but his movies tend to be rather generic and following the same mold of how to make a comedy over and over. But "The Guilt Trip" surprised on many levels, and it was a great pleasure to sit down and watch it.

This is the type of movie that draws you in and makes you care and have an interest in the characters, because it is so nicely detailed and so well played. Rogen and Streisand really have great chemistry together on the screen and it shows all throughout the entire movie.

"The Guilt Trip" is not a movie to just flicker off with the wave of a hand. Watch it, enjoy it and take it to heart.

Sure they start out annoying, but they get better

Andy Brewster (Seth Rogen) is a chemist who invents a safe bio-cleaner and used all his savings into the project. Except he's a horrible salesman. He can't stand his mother Joyce (Barbara Streisand). When she tells him about an old flame, he decides to add him to his sales road trip and invite her mother to come along.

Barbara Streisand just can't stop talking. Her character is really annoying. And Seth Rogen's character is so tired of her, that he can't take any advise from her, even if the advise is warranted. This was fun for 10 minutes, then it got tiresome as an one joke movie. Then the characters started to grow and change. They end up as very likable people. And I'm glad to stick it out with those annoying people early on. They're worth it.

Hit the road Babs

This is another mismatched mother-son comedy drama with Seth Rogen toning it down a bit as wannabee entrepreneur taking a shot with his diminishing savings to sell his cleaning products to major retailers such as Kmart.

However after a visit to his overbearing mum (Barbra Streisand) he ends up taking her on a road trip because he feels guilty about not spending more time with her. So you have Seth and Barbara in a small car bickering.

As always with some recent Miss Streisand films, you wander about how old is she is supposed to be. The actress who is in her 70s is playing someone a lot younger as her son is in his early 30s.

Rogen has kept his distance from his mother who raised him singlehandedly and Rogen also had relationship issues since he let the girl he loved to get away from his life. They bond together as they drive to Las Vegas, she listening to a talking book, both getting into various scrapes and a scene where Barbara eats a giant steak. Some side trips are taken along the journey and both have a better understanding of each other by the end of the film.

Its a sweet enough film, very predictable and both leads bounce off each other well, which is more of a feat for Rogen given his co-star's reputation. However the film is nothing more than watchable.
