The Guilt Trip Review

The Guilt Trip

So The Guilt Trip is a movie about a mother and a son who decide to go on a road trip across the country. So this is another one of those comedies where the one person is annoyed with the other and then they end up bonding and in the end they are closer and yeah we all know how all that works. So I guess we should start with the story on this one since I kind of already talked about it a bit, but the movie is predictable, you know what's going to happen right from the beginning you have no doubt in your mind of what's going to happen from the minute the movie starts. Now the acting in the movie, I want to start out by saying Barbara Streisand is just a great loving mother, I could tell she enjoyed playing this loving and fun mother. I feel like a lot of her lines and such were improvised she just put anything and everything out there. Now Seth Rogen is the son in this movie, now he does okay, he really is just the same guy as he is in every single other movie. I also have to say that I really hate his character for most of the movie. He is just a jerk to his mother who is just trying to help her son and be a loving mother. Now maybe I hate it because my mom isn't at all like this but I just felt that he was a loser and he should have been more appreciative of his mother so his character just really annoyed me. I have to say that I loved one the lessons that you take away from this movie don't take advantage of the people who love and care about you, I think that this is something that a lot of people do in this world. I will admit to that even and I do this because of my trust issues, but I should learn to quit and I do try. Now this movie had some decent funny parts but for the most part it was more boring than anything, there is a couple parts though that I did enjoy. This movie isn't no Planes Trains and Automobiles or a Tommy Boy but it is enjoyable enough that you enjoy it. I'm not going to go out and buy this movie at al, but I would maybe consider watching it again on Netfllix if someone else wanted to watch it.

So what are the people saying? Now there are a lot of people saying that's its not that funny which I do agree with its not like a classic road trip comedy movie. There are some people saying that they liked the chemistry between them and I agree I liked the chemistry between them, I agree with that. People are also saying that the movie is predictable which as I said above it is. So everyone else said it was a decent time, I think that you will enjoy this movie when there's nothing else on T.V. The movie was touching and it some decent funny parts.

Now as for a rating I'm going to give this movie a rating of  6/10.

So what did you think did you agree?

Let me know and thanks for watching!!!
