The Guilt Trip





Directed By: Anne Fletcher

Starring: Seth Rogen, Barbra Streisand, Yvonne Strahovski, Adam Scott, Colin Hanks, Danny Pudi, Kathy Najimy, and Casey Rose Wilson

You've got to really be comfortable with somebody to go on a road trip with them.  You're stuck with him or her for days without end in a tight space.  Once you're in the car, there's no escape.  I've had good road trips, and I've had some rough ones.  I speak from experience when I say that you will get to know all a pe...
