The Guilt Trip (2012 Anne Fletcher)

I don't know, we thought there was something weird about Barbra Streisand, some plastic surgery that's made her face unresponsive, except in a few joyous moments. Everything Seth Rogan says sounds improvved (from the outtakes you can see a lot of it was) so it's always nice to see him in a film where he is forced to say actual written lines (like Steve Jobs).

Written by Dan Fogelman, but it's not as good as Crazy Stupid Love.



Glossily shot by Oliver Stapleton who has partnered with Stephen Frears seven times (beginning with My Beautiful Launderette) and Lasse Hallstrom five, and started out on The Comic Strip, The Secret Policeman's Other Ball and the A-Ha video 'Take On Me'.

Dana Glauberman is one of the editors (with Priscilla Nedd-Friendly). Fletcher directed 27 Dresses, The Proposal and Hot Pursuit with Reese Witherspoon (mixed reviews).

Doesn't make much of its cross country trip, and the spectacular views of the Grand Canyon don't entrance the couple for more than a second.

It's OK.
