- 75Chicago TribuneMichael PhillipsChicago TribuneMichael PhillipsWell, it's a masterpiece compared with 'Little Fockers,' the last movie featuring Barbra Streisand.

- 67Entertainment WeeklyLisa SchwarzbaumEntertainment WeeklyLisa SchwarzbaumThe Guilt Trip is not about Rogen, bubbeleh. Streisand is her own once-in-a-lifetime trip, looking gawjuss with that divine voice and those killer fingernails, and the sight of the lady scarfing down four pounds of beef at a Texas steak joint is one a Streisand lover can now cross off her bucket list.
- 50The Hollywood ReporterTodd McCarthyThe Hollywood ReporterTodd McCarthyA creakily old-fashioned comedy that forgot to pack the laughs along with the nudging and kvetching.

- 40Time OutDavid FearTime OutDavid FearWhat's surprising is that Rogen and Streisand have a genuinely complementary chemistry, feeding off each other in a way that suggests that, given a halfway decent script, the two would make a better-than-decent screen duo.
- 40New York Daily NewsElizabeth WeitzmanNew York Daily NewsElizabeth WeitzmanWhile the actors are appealing, their weirdly co-dependent characters aren't. And they don't learn enough to balance out the bland, intermittently irritating nature of their adventures.
