Barbra Streisand and Seth Rogan are the best new comedy couple since Bill and Ted. And, like Bill and Ted, they go on a hilarious, excellent adventure, that you guessed, it leads to some great big realizations.

But what’s better than Bill and Ted is that almost all of us will recognize our own relationships with our moms, in this new comedy hitting theaters today.

Just like Andy Brewster (Seth Rogan) and Joyce Brewster (Barbra Streisand), we don’t nearly appreciate the depth of love our mothers have for us, and that we hold for them. Instead, we forget that our parents have had their own pre-kid lives, their own hopes and dreams, and their own aspirations.

When Andy, a bio chemist inventor, decides to visit his widowed mom Joyce in NYC, before starting a cross country car trip to sell his revolutionary,wholy organic cleaning product, , he makes a shocking discovery.

His mom has passionately loved another man Andrew Margolis, since she was a young woman. But sadly, Andrew couldn’t commit so she married another man – Andy’s dad.

Andy takes to the internet and discovers that his mother’s true love is alive, well, and living in San Francisco. Curious, he invites his mom to join his road trip.

The adventures begin.

Can’t Wait for the Guilt Trip Part 2

Let’s just say that Andy comes to realize that his mom is way more fun and far wiser than he thought and that HE has a lot to learn about love, and about selling the product of his life.

Barbara is so funny, warm, and believable, she really needs to consider acting a whole lot more, not less.

And the other reason you need to take your mom to The Guilt Trip is so you can give her a big hug when it’s over. I know, I wish my mom was here, so I could.

Enjoy!

Barbra Streisand picks the films she does carefully, but she had some help when selecting to work on The Guilt Trip with Seth Rogen. See what made these two a perfect mother and son on film

“It was interesting, I was talking to a friend that said to me that, ‘You are an actress, and you should act!’ That was interesting but then I read the script out loud with my son, and he thought I should do it. So I decided, what the hell and do it!” Barbra gushed candidly after a screening of her new film The Guilt Trip at AMC Theaters in Century City on Dec. 2.

But another reason could have been the chemistry she had with her co-star Seth, who was quick to add his thoughts on the similarities between Barbra and his own mother saying, “Barbra met my mother because she came to set, and she went to Barbra’s concert. There are similarities, they are both Jewish ladies, so they have a lot of common ground I would say! They are not that different, my mom was a hippy, my mom is more like her character in Meet the Fockers. My mom was a social worker and talks about sex way too much. she will literally post on her Facebook about Paps smears she has just got!”

So HollywoodLifers, will you be going to see The Guilt Trip when it comes out in theaters on Dec. 19?
