Movie review - "The Guilt Trip" (2012) **

A great title and seemingly can't-miss idea - Barbra Streisand and Seth Rogen as mother and son taking a trip together - becomes dull and uninteresting. You know you're in trouble by the first ten minutes - the characters aren't set up beyond broad stereotypes (pushy Jewish mother! nervous Jewish schleb!) and the set up to the simple story is agonisizing amateurish. Dull and obvious.
