“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?
