Seth Rogen: 5 Awesome Performances And 5 That Sucked
2. Andrew Brewster - The Guilt Trip
Seth Rogen has always been pretty good at choosing his projects. He usually avoids the cookie-cutter fluff that Hollywood churns out each Friday and is forgotten by Sunday. Even some of his smaller films were driven by writer/directors who have a voice and style of their own. Why he ever got involved in The Guilt Trip, a horrenous, time-warped road trip comedy with Barbara Streisand, Ill never know. It could be due to a nice paycheck sent to his mailbox for just showing up. Or maybe he is a die-hard Streisand fan and jumped at the chance to work with her. Eh...I think Ill go with the former.
The Guilt Trip is just another road trip movie where two mismatched people are crammed in a car together but what makes The Guilt Trip so excruciating a watch is the cringe-worthy dialogue and the fact Rogen and Streisand have absolutely no chemistry together.
A painful, painful, painful, painful experience.
