Tagline:
"Get ready for one mother of a road trip."


Review:
This movie deserves a better rating than it was considered as poor. For me this movie was very charming, adorable and sweet. You would have seen many road movies on teen, chick and dude themes but 'The guilt trip' was so awesome about a mother and her son who are on the road. The mother-son combo is kinda rare gem especially on road theme so somehow it impressed me a lot.

If you see your mom just after watching it, definitely you will have a little smile. I had seen Barbara Streisand in many movies but she was here so adorable by her performance and cuter by her expressions. I think I liked her more than Seth Rogen in the movie.

They said it is a comedy movie but I felt it was more meaningful and thoughtful about life and relationships especially between parents and their children. The way the scenes shown between these two (Seth & Barbara) was kinda real fact even sometime it was sentimental.

I was totally falling for the love story she tells about when she was young, especially the twist at the end when they meet few people. I almost got tears in my eyes, it was touchy, emotional and very much true story of many. A good movie to have with family.
