The Guilt Trip Reviews
So while this intergenerational road trip has potential, it is wasted. A comedy even your mother might not love.
| Original Score: 2/5 | Nov 11, 2022
A pat, old-fashioned comedy that fails to capitalise on the substantial potential for humour of its leading duo.
| Original Score: 2/5 | Feb 9, 2019
Rogen and Streisand share adequate chemistry but seldom seem like the real deal in Anne Fletcher's fourth movie... Under her direction, Streisand and Rogen look like a pair of actors saying jokes written for them by a comedy think tank.

The whole thing gets duller by the minute.
| Original Score: 2/5 | Aug 17, 2018
A mild and forgettable road comedy.
| Original Score: C- | Jun 29, 2018
A bit 'eww' in that it's essentially a romcom with a mom and son, it's the perfect Mother's Day outing for people who don't like their mums much.
| Original Score: 2/5 | Sep 5, 2017
The script has let Streisand and Rogen down.
| Original Score: 2/5 | May 23, 2016
The Guilt Trip struck me something best viewed on an airplane.

It just cruises along in second gear, being genial.
Full Review | May 3, 2015
The laughs are gentle, of the chuckle rather than laugh-out-loud variety and they're plentiful enough to overlook the episodic sequences.

| Original Score: 2/5 | May 2, 2013
Rogen's deadpan misery meshes well with Streisand's oblivious idiocy, making the laughs roll in.
| Original Score: 3/4 | Apr 30, 2013
Contrived and mostly medicore, but may satisfy Streisand fans
| Mar 28, 2013
It's all kvetch this and kvetch that, with few jokes or amusing encounters ...
| Mar 10, 2013
It never quite delivers juggernaut-sized laughs, but the sharp-tongued sparring between the two leads pops and fizzes throughout, with Streisand in particular showing she's still an intuitive and naturalistic comedian.
| Original Score: 3/5 | Mar 8, 2013
Streisand has lost little of her gawky, pesky touch in comedy, while Rogen knows just how to be the charmingly daft slob.
| Original Score: 2/5 | Mar 8, 2013
Rogen plays the science nerd Andrew, who has just invented an organic cleaning product and is taking a cross-country trip to find a buyer. In a moment of weakness, he invites his meddling mother Joyce (Streisand).
| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Mar 8, 2013
Barbra's speed-yapping makes her mollycoddling mum Joyce even more annoying than she is supposed to be.
| Original Score: 2/5 | Mar 7, 2013
What we're left with is a bafflingly dull road movie. Maybe Alexander Payne could have done something with this.
| Original Score: 1/5 | Mar 7, 2013
It is the makers who should feel guilty.
