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.

The Guilt Trip struck me something best viewed on an airplane.

| Original Score: 2/5 | May 2, 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

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.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Mar 7, 2013

I had a lot of fun watching Barbra Streisand, who effortlessly commands the screen and reminds us what a gifted, natural comedienne she is.

Andrew [Rogen], who has invented an organic cleaning compound, pitches it to retailers in a succession of meetings across the country that have no grounding in any known reality.

| Dec 21, 2012

The Guilt Trip pairs Seth Rogen and Barbra Streisand in the hope, no doubt, that sparks will fly. They don't.

| Original Score: C- | Dec 21, 2012

Rogen and Streisand are reasonably funny together, though Rogen, always best when he's angry, is crowded into the role of a well-mannered straight man.

| Dec 21, 2012

To its detriment, The Guilt Trip opts to work gently on the heart rather than hard on the funny bone.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Dec 21, 2012

This film completely surrenders to its premise, with everything else following in a predictable way.

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Dec 20, 2012

It zigs when you expect it to zag. It's perceptive and thoughtful as it swerves around potholes that easily could have broken an axle.

| Original Score: 4.5/5 | Dec 20, 2012

The film's feel-good message is undermined by its ultimate purpose: As a vindication of the rights of Jewish mothers to annoy their children as much as they please.

| Original Score: 6/10 | Dec 20, 2012

Mothers and sons deserve an amiable comedy they can share, but this one is faulty long before the requisite freeway breakdown.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Dec 19, 2012

While Streisand and Rogen's relationship is smartly, affectionately drawn, just about every other element of the movie feels perfunctory ...

| Original Score: B- | Dec 19, 2012

There's a reason Rogen's best work in film has been providing voices for animated characters. He only has two looks, a squinchy pained look and a dull confused look.

| Original Score: C | Dec 19, 2012

"The Guilt Trip" is tripe, but it's tripe that knows its audience. Seriously, take your mother. It'll be a mitzvah.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Dec 19, 2012

Streisand and Rogen have expert instincts, and their interplay is a pleasure to watch. And the movie is surprisingly gentle in its application of conventional movie wisdom and avoidance of easy gross-out humor.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Dec 19, 2012

[A] lifeless comedy about an overbearing mother and her exasperated adult son ...

| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Dec 19, 2012
