Only about half way through the film and...


The mom character is SO obnoxious, nothing this character says is comical whatsoever, it's like I have to tolerate what she says she just to hear a semi-decent one-liner/retort from Seth every ten minutes. I would tell me mom to "shut up" too if she acted like some babbling airhead like this lady (no offense to the actress, speaking entirely of the character obviously) she is just wearing at me there is almost nothing likable about her character other then that she "loves" her son. when seth tell's her to shut it she acts as if it's ludicrous but she basically get's her son punched in the face and seth STILL needs to start the "i'm sorry" process.

She's acting the part of a Jewish mother perfectly. Jewish mothers are known for being extremely overbearing and giving their children guilt trips, hence the title Guilt Trip. It can be annoying if you're not familiar but kind of endearing if you are. :)
