The Guilt Trip **

An inventor (Seth Rogen) and his mom (Barbra Streisand), each concerned about the other being single, embark on a cross-country road trip where he hopes to sell his product to distributors. There's history here, and they both have quirks and secrets, which are revealed in due time. But it's a slight work that would have been more at home as a made-for-TV movie, or in a shorter format. Rogen and Streisand are fine, and the banter suits them both, but a fussy mom and a nerdy organic chemist make for a very sedate comedy.
