“The Guilt Trip” Asks “Why Did I Teach My Mom To Text”? Dan Koelsch, December 2, 2012December 2, 2012 The Guilt Trip is a comedy about an inventor (played by Seth Rogen) who takes his mother (Barbara Streisand) on a road trip to sell his new invention.

The Guilt Trip is directed by Anne Fletcher and written by Dan Fogelman. Paramount Pictures releases the film on December 19th. Social Networks Viral Marketing The Guilt TripTumblr
