Seth Rogen and Barbra Streisand approach work similarly, they say, and they really became like mother and son on the set of "The Guilt Trip."

About this Article

Barbra Streisand would really rather relax than star in a movie. "I like not to be bothered," she said during a recent interview. "I like to look at the ocean and swim in my pool and play with my dog and see my son." But for the director and writer of "The Guilt Trip," Streisand was the only choice to play Joyce Brewster, a loving but meddling mom who sees the bonding opportunity of a lifetime when her only son, Andy (Seth Rogen), invites her on a cross-country road trip.
