THE GUILT TRIP

Sentimental isn’t a word you’d immediately think of when referring to the potential of a Seth Rogen/Barbara Streisand collaboration - but unfortunately that’s what you’re going to get, and not the laughs you were hoping for or deserve in 'The Guilt Trip'.

Andrew (Rogen) is an organic chemist who has spend the last five years and almost all of his money developing a completely natural, non-toxic cleaning product. He’s about to embark on a road trip that will see him shaking hands with those that can either make or break his invention and future. Starting in New Jersey, the home of his mother Joyce (Streisand), Andrew asks her along when it’s revealed during an intimate conversation that Andrew was named after a long lost-love of his mother's. Hoping to surprise her with a reunion, Andrew and Joyce set off. From the get-go, it’s obvious that Joyce is a doting, proud and nurturing mother who struggles to find common ground with her intellectual son who lives on the other side of the country. Their journey is filled with revelations, tension, a few laughs and even an eating contest, each event weakening their current relationship and strengthening their future one.
