The Guilt Trip
Sneak Peek at "The Guilt Trip"
This is the movie is the multi generational gap breaching Jewish comedy everyones been waiting for. Well, maybe not everyone... but either way, it seems pretty skewed towards a certain audience. That said, it looks like a whole lot of mediocre fun.
The flick follows everyones favourite "everyman" Seth Rogen who plays Andy Brewster, a man about to embark on the road trip of a lifetime.
However, that's hardly hijinxy enough for a broad comedy... so who better to join him on his wacky (and most likely enlightening) than his overbearing mother Joyce (everyones favourite singing Jew, Barbra Streisand) .
From here we trek with the two across 3,000 miles of the USA's ever changing landscape, in which Andy will be constantly aggravated by his mothers antics, but of course over time he will come to realise that their lives have more in common than he originally thought.
Yes kids, expect a message... his mother’s advice might end up being exactly what he needs.
Don't expect any surprises from this, it looks about as bland and broad as one might expect. It's unusual to see Rogen go so broad, but then again, he is in desperate need of a hit having not replicated his 2007-2009 boom of success recently.
