Wednesday Movie Night: The Guilt Trip (2012)

Personally, I think The Guilt Trip deserves a little bit more than just a 5.6 on IMDb. It's cute and while it plays off the current trend of road trips, the two leads do work well together in creating a comedy that is for adults but still okay to watch with your family to laugh about. Anne Fletcher has directed other movies you've heard of though like 27 Dresses, and the more popular The Proposal. This one though seems to have been a bigger flop of the ones of she directed though.

Andy begins a trip cross-country by visiting his mom, but when he gets there he discovers something he has been ignoring. After finding out about his mom's past lover he decides to set her up on a date, and brings her with him to go on a road trip in order to surprise her with the set up. Andy's mom though isn't quite ready to let go though, and on the trip she is constantly looking for ways to try to be motherly to him. The two though will hopefully understand each other much better by the end of the trip, and have some closure.
