For a change, Seth Rogen doesn't play the cuddly stoner in 'The Guilt Trip' (2012) and the bromance in question is more of a momance here. The character of Rogen goes on a road trip with his New York mom (Barbra Streisand) to visit a number of customers with her to show his invented product. What she does not know is that at the end of the ride he has scheduled a meeting with her great childhood sweetheart, a successful businessman. This predictable little thing can be drawn from start to finish, but Rogen/Streisand are fun as the opposites that are genetically doomed to each other. Although the production would have benefited from slightly more and stronger jokes.

I started this with annoyance: suppose I really had such a meddling mother (see also Prime), how insane would I then become? Well, it's just a comedy with exaggerated characters that are supposed to make you laugh, but people who squeeze into other people's lives always hit me a sensitive spot, even if it's a comedy. Over time, however, it turns out that the two protagonists react really great to each other, that Streisand is allowed to display her unequivocal comedic talent and that the hypothermic Rogen portrays a much more acceptable person than his usual party animal (the "cuddly stoner" like ). Donkerwoud puts it so aptly above), and there is nothing wrong with the beautiful emotional punch that is achieved in the house of Streisand's old flame. All in all, I think back to this remarkable road movie with great pleasure, even if it is certainly not free from cliché.

Horrible.
Very lame movie with bitter little around the body. Quite a lot of drama and "guilt" crammed into it, but really not well developed. Barba Streisand is terrible and Seth Rogen is also not very good.
Not at all successful as a comedy and certainly not as a drama.
