The Guilt Trip (out Jan 24) is a comedy that follows a mother and son (Seth Rogen & Barbara Streisand) on a crazy road trip across the United States. I've no problem with the casting and the film has a nice spirit... but the writing is not good. It's a thin premise and this should have been a lot funnier. Grade: C+.
