The Guilt Trip (DVD)

July 1, 2013 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

Starring: Barbra Streisand, Seth Rogen, Kathy Najimy, Miriam Margolyes
Director: Anne Fletcher
Running Time: 95 mins
Certificate: 12
Release Date: July 1st 2013

Barbra Streisand hasn’t taken a lead role in a movie since The Mirror Has Two Faces in 1996, so there was a fair amount of anticipation for The Guilt Trip. Unfortunately though, she should probably have spent a bit more time picking through scripts, as this certainly isn’t a triumphant return.

Seth Rogen plays Andy Brewster, an inventor who’s come up with a revolutionary cleaning product. He’s on a trip around the country trying to sell it to retailers, but nobody seems that interested, largely because his pitch is dreadful. He stops off to see his mom, Joyce (Streisand), and after she tells him a story about her first love, he decides to invite her along on the trip with the idea of secretly reuniting her with that old boyfriend.

The Guilt Trip Trailer – Barbra Streisand and Seth Rogen are mother and son

October 4, 2012 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment


Barbra Streisand hasn’t taken a starring role in a movie since The Mirror Has Two Faces in 1996 (although there were of course her Fockers appearances), but she’s coming back for The Guilt Trip, starring alongside Seth Rogen. Here’s the synopsis: ‘Andy Brewster (Rogen) is about to embark on the road trip of a lifetime, and who better to accompany him than his overbearing mother Joyce (Streisand). After deciding to start his adventure with a quick visit at mom’s, Andy is guilted into bringing her along for the ride. Across 3,000 miles of ever-changing landscape, he is constantly aggravated by her antics, but over time he comes to realize that their lives have more in common than he originally thought. His mother’s advice might end up being exactly what he needs. The movie, from Proposal helmer Anne Fletcher, is due out in the UK on February 22nd, 2013.

Julian Fellowes Writing Gypsy Adaptation For Barbra Streisand

March 14, 2012 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment

As she hits 70 years of age next month, Barbra Streisand may be a bit old to play a pushy stage mother, but she harbours a desire to bring the classic musical Gypsy to the big screen, although hopefully she’ll change things so she can play a pushy grandmother to make it slightly more realistic.

Now she and producer Joel Silver have set Academy Award-winning writer Julian Fellowes, of Gosford Park and Downton Abbey fame, to pen the screenplay adaptation of Stephen Sondheim and Arthur Laurents’ Tony Award winning musical. Streisand will play Momma Rose in the new version, which will surprisingly be her first musical film since Yentl, which she starred, produced, co-wrote and directed way back in 1983.

Fellowes isn’t a complete musical novice, as he worked on Disney’s stage production of Mary Poppins. Now he’s taking of the show that’s been a classic ever since it first Broadway run in 1959 with Ethel Merman. Since then the show, based on the memoirs of the famous striptease artist, Gypsy Rose Lee, has spawned numerous incarnations including a 1962 film starring Rosalind Russell and Natalie Wood, four Broadway revivals, as well as a made-for-television movie starring Bette Midler in the role Streisand is taking on.

Gypsy is one of the those musical classics that’s still waiting for the definitive film version, and that’s what Streisand hopes she can create, and getting Fellowes involved seems a good move.
