Review of The Guilt Trip (2012) by A T — 17 May 2013

Sweet, maybe too sweet, The Guilt Trip is a heavily predictable movie, but it's core theme rings too true. Like Apatow's "This is 40", "Trip" accurately defines the Americana family and its struggle in today's world.

Rogen (playing a more "Undeclared" type role) is (believe it or not) an organic chemist, and surprisingly plays it well (the only thing it seems like he can't play is a superhero). Streisand is predictable but still has chemistry with Rogen.

Not a home run like a lot of his comedies before hand, but it plays safe for your mother if you want to introduce her to Rogen and his slight comedic touch here.
