The Guilt Trip - 2012 ***

 
Andy tries to spend as little 'quality' time with his devoted mother Joyce as possible. It's not that he doesn't love her, it's more that he doesn't have room for her in his jam-packed life. But when he decides to go on a once in a lifetime road trip to advertise his new organic cleaning product, his mother convinces him to let her go along for the ride so they can spend time together. What starts off as a possible good idea turns into a nightmare as Joyce takes over his sales pitches, insults various important people and generally irritates him when he is trying to focus.
I go through phases of liking and despising Barbara Streisand and this is one of those times where I found her more infuriating than usual.
The film is quite funny, with occasional touching parts but overall quite disappointing.
