“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. Obviously, travelling with your mother when you are a grown man can be difficult, and the film has tapped into that by creating a tumblr site called Why Did I Teach My Mom To Text? The site’s posts are in the style we’ve seen on Damn You Auto Correct! and Text From Dog. Take a look at a few of mom’s texts after the break. 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
