The Guilt Trip is a somewhat subdued comedy-drama that has little to set the pulse racing. The pairing of Seth Rogen and Barbra Streisand works well, with Streisand again demonstrating her effortless comedic professionalism and Rogen taking his usual performance down a notch with a little unevenness of characterisation. The road trip element keeps the film moving and provides some good use of typical American tourist sites. The whole film comes across as deliberately low-key, and at times the relentless banter becomes wearing, but there are some good emotional pay-offs towards the end.
