Guilt Trip, The (12A)

Guilt Trip, The (12A)

Comedy

As inventor Andy Brewster is about to embark on the road trip of a lifetime, a quick stop at his mom's house turns into an unexpected cross-country voyage with her along for the ride.


The critical consensus

The script is sentimental and predictable, but the stars are likeable and believable as mother and son.

Despite potential for cross-generational appeal, The Guilt Trip has failed to find much of an audience, and yet it offers some simple pleasures; such character-driven humour feels heartfelt rather than mean-spirited.

Crazy, Stupid, Love writer Dan Fogelman can't rebottle lightning with a humdrum comedy that doesn't play to its stars strengths.

You just keep wishing they'd given [Streisand and Rogen] better lines to say.

**(*)(*)(*)Anthony Quinn, The Independent, 07/03/2013

What we're left with is a bafflingly dull road movie.

*(*)(*)(*)(*)Peter Bradshaw, The Guardian, 07/03/2013

Streisand’s comic instincts are as sharp as ever but the screenplay is never focused enough or funny enough to make you care.

**(*)(*)(*)Daily Express, 08/03/2013

It's all kvetch this and kvetch that, with few jokes or amusing encounters.

Philip French, The Observer, 10/03/2013
