26 The Guilt Trip
Starring: Seth Rogen, Barbra Streisand, Yvonne Strahovski, Colin Hanks, Adam Scott
Director: Anne Fletcher
Out: 25 December 2012
An inventor (Rogen) invites his mother (Streisand) on a cross-country trip as he tries to sell his new product, while also reuniting her with a lost love. It’s a buddy comedy with a mother and son – unusual, and a nice idea – Rogen and Streisand are very much a double act. From the director of ‘The Proposal’, and the writer of ‘Crazy, Stupid, Love’. Streisand last tackled mainstream comedy in the ‘Fockers’ series. This could appeal to two very different demographics, or not be targeted enough for either. [Critics: 37%] [Public: 5.6] – Mediocre
