Guilt Trip

Posted on August 17, 2018 by Village Vidiot

I am not a great fan of Barbara Streisand, but I enjoyed this silly, popular story of a mother/son road trip. Seth Rogen is an engineer-inventor on a road trip to try to sell his new cleaning product. Babs is his ever intrusive, loving, overwhelming mom. He finds things out about his mom that encourage him to take her on the trip with him. Along the way (of course) she grows more alive and independent, he grows to know, understand and respect her more and he opens up. No shock. The surprise is that it’s actually funny in some (that is to say, some places). Creepy in others also, but worth the watch for a sweet and largely predictable comedy. Just keep BS away from the directorial chair if she’s also in the film
