Barbra Streisand, Seth Rogen (quite a combo!)
From Fandango: Before embarking on a once-in-a-lifetime road trip, Andy Brewster (Seth Rogen) pays a visit to his overbearing mother, Joyce (Barbra Streisand). That proves to be a big mistake; Andy caves in under pressure to take his mom along for the ride. Early on -- as the miles roll by -- Andy feels nothing but aggravation at her antics. Eventually however, he comes to realize that they have more in common than he first thought and that Joyce's wisdom might be just what he needs.
Barbra Streisand was fun to watch...she tried to be a little shlumpy, but those perfectly manicured French nails belied that. However, they worked really well together and I was able to chuckle along quite nicely. Good entertainment. During the credits, some scenes that had been cut of them traveling in the car were shown, great fun.
