Tried to watch this the other night. Despite her politics, I've always like Barbara Striesand - especially her screwball comedies from the late 60s and 70s. However Guilt Trip was an extreme disappointment.
I don't know how they managed to screw the pooch with two talents like Seth Rogan and Babs Striesand, but somehow they did it. Instead of being quirky and funny, like she was in What's Up Doc, Striesand was just... annoying! Seth Rogan wasn't even a good straigt man - he was more like Buster from the Mythbusters!
In all honesty, I didn't watch the entire movie - just up to the part where Babs dropped the F-bomb! After that, I figured there was nothing left to see, so it was off to my computer room. The wife watched the rest of the movie, she was similarly unimpressed.

I grew up with South Park, and Trey Parker and Matt Stone really hate Striesand for her arrogant anti populist/democratic behavior and statements. She was furious that a state had kept definition of marriage to be between man and woman and wanted the federal government to force the state to withdraw the law. This pissed off Trey Parker and Matt Stone since they are constitutionalists. Everytime I see the bitch I just think of Mecha Striesand :tounge:
I'm pretty sure that Laura Ingram had Streisand in mind when she titled her book, Shut Up and Sing!
Yeah, Bab's politics are pretty dismal.

I stick her in the box with Hanoi Jane Fonda and the Chixie Dicks.
