Rogen is Rogen, you either love or hate his comedy, but I never and still can't get why people find STreisland funny. she just doesn't get comedy, can't throw a punch line at all. fell flat in the trailer. the premise is a bit weird too, seems a bit array and off for a comical film- mom and son go on a trip where he is pitching his invention idea. I don't know, just wasn't digging the trailer and storyline and... STreisland

If i go crazy will you still call me Superman?

I'm unsure why anyone would say thet Streisand "doesn't get comedy" when that's her main forte as an actress!

It looks great to me, my only fear is that it's also a little old-fashioned for today's audiences. I'm thinking back to the less-raunchy "The Out-of-Towners" (1970), and "Planes, Trains & Automobiles". The closest I can think of is the "mother"/son road trip in "Transamerica!

Maybe it will appeal to the "Little Miss Sunshine" crowd as well. I guess it's a good test for this kind of film. If Rogen and Streisand can't pull off a family road comedy in the 21st century maybe no one can.

Scarlett shot first!

You know why ... I'll tell you why.
Because of the irrationality of right-wing dorks.
These are the kind of people that make their priority projectile vomiting their insults into areas of life where it doesn't belong and is inappropriate. You will see this in every Susan Sarandon movie, or any of the notable actors/actresses who have made their leftist political leanings known.
