oad Trip/Guilt. Hmmm.... Are we talking about some kind of mother here? Actually it was a lengthy product placement ad for GAP, but who's counting? Mom thinks her son should be married, he thinks she should start dating again. One thing leads to another and he ends up inviting her to join him on a trip across the country.
Our hero is a scientist who has developed an ecologically pure cleaning product. Problem is, he is a scientist, not a promoter, so he has embarked on a coast-to-coast road trip in a last-ditch effort to meet various buyers for chains. What HE finds exciting, his would-be buyers find a snooze, so he's not doing very well. In the meantime, his mother is a parody of a stereotype, which becomes very wearisome very quickly; it's no wonder he won't take her advice.
We watch:
This is a road picture that has funny moments or it is a comedy about a road trip, either way, we were mildly amused, but that's about it. The stereotypical Jewish mother is waaay overdone and when her exasperated son finally yells at her to "Shut UP!" we couldn't help but agree. ...sigh...
By the way, don't be in a rush to exit the theatre, most of the fun was in the outtakes during the final credits.
