This isn't a very funny comedy, in fact I didn't really laugh throughout this whole movie. But the thing is I still enjoyed it and couldn't help but have a slight smile throughout this whole flick. I think it's because watching this movie reminded me a lot of my own mother in a lot of ways. Not completely but a lot, especially about a hour through this movie. And that is what made this movie a enjoyable road trip movie. Now the story is basically about a guy(forgot his name but know he is played by Seth Seth Rogen) and his mom(Barbra Streisand) going on a road trip together, well it's basically a business trip for the son and his mom is basically tagging along with him. Now this can seem like a nightmare for some, going on a road trip as an adult with their parents. But movies like this shows how we should appreciate our parents more and spend more time with them. Again it's not really a funny movie but it's a safe comedy that the whole family can enjoy, especially on Mother's Day. And maybe that is the reason I liked this flick, it's because I can connect with it. Because the lecturing from the mother and the fights all seem so darn relatable. Now Seth Rogen plays a bit of a prick son but that also adds to the connection with the characters. Since there was a point in our lives where we acted like complete pricks to our parents that gave us everything. Barbra Streisand played the mother character so well and seemed like a real mother in the movie. From the mannerisms to the nurturing and caring parts to even the parts where she gets angry as a mother. This isn't a hilarious comedy but it's worth seeing just to remember our own mothers and how they treated us and gave us all their efforts.
