This movie was released in 2012 and it completely passed me by until this year because it randomly popped up on Netflix at a friend's house. I laughed a bit, but mostly there wasn't anything terribly surprising about this film and it was extremely predictable.

I'll give a bit of the plot even though it isn't really important. Andy Brewster (Seth Rogan) is an organic chemist who is trying to get a great product sold that he developed. It is revealed very early on in the movie that he is not terribly good with his "pitch" skills.

At an early point in the movie he ends up in NYC to visit his incredibly overbearing mother played by Barbara Streisand who is single and kind of views everything that Andy does as the most important thing in the world. She calls him incessantly and it becomes clear that she is actually a bit nuts.

He had already decided to drive back accross the country going to "pitch meetings" along the way, eventually ending up back in California, where he lives. Andy asks his mother to join him for reasons that I will not ruin for you but are described early on in the film.

Basically, this film is ok. Seth Rogan's usual style of dry humor is showcased and Streisand does a decent job of being annoying while also lovable. I do not believe she is capable of winning an eating contest though.

This movie isn't fantastic but it does have some laughs. Just don't expect anything special from it.
