Michael Fuchs Being neither a big fan of Seth Rogan, talented actor but participant in so many unspeakably bad movies, nor Barbara Streisand, this movie definitely had to overcome some obstacles for me. Which it did, with Rogan in a refreshingly unpretentious role of a son who is trying to deal patiently with his Mom's idiosyncrasies and finding success as an inventor, and Streisand very believable as a too intrusive mom worried about her son's life. They are effectively both trying to fix the other's life, in a good-natured but also slightly naive way. The movie was sufficiently credible to me, while staying light on its feet without engaging in unnecessary comedy (something that seems to put off a lot of people who had this expectation, probably influenced by Rogan's usual role and the marketing) or drawn-out deception entanglements.Heightened spoiler alert... I particularly like the scene Andrew puts it squarely to Joyce why he wants her to come to San Francisco. So many movies would think it's a good idea for the character to keep coming up with some pretense that would explode into his face at some point. Instead he pitches it to her, as badly as he pitches his invention, with a reaction of Joyce that comes across as genuine as well. And then there is the next-to-last scene in SF, which might contain one of the most heart-warming moments in cinema history, just when you thought there would be no catharsis for decade-old feelings (which might have increased the authenticity, but I feel the movie had been lifelike enough to justify indulging in a happy end).Hats off to Anne Fletcher and Dan Fogelman.

arquigrafia Barbara is no surprise in this movie, she nailed it, not deep but trusty.Rogen, I just decided to watch more of him I need to find out if he was acting or just being himself, I just believed his character.The love and miss combination of the argument for this script needs to be understood as an excuse for another funny road movie.Being pitiful is a low exit to make the character Andy more credible, but his looks accomplish the task very well, and his voice and accent make the ironic, cynic answers build a character.The movie could make you either laugh or cry, it will depend so much in the mood you are while watching... The downside, if you are tired you will fall asleep, just give it another try when you are rested.

Will Fernandes I am not surprised that in times of easy-fast-sexy-teenagerlike comedies,some people find it hard to follow a funny plot, with dialogs and jokes that are not explicit and given on a tray to the viewers.Full of psychoanalytic jokes - as the story line itself is a big Oedipus complex, it is far from standing as a Woody Allen or Altman's kind of movie where human nature seems to be the joke itself; even so still it's a clever well written movie and the humor is subtle and keen.I enjoyed the movie from the first to the last sequence and Barbra proved, once again, not only that she is still in shape but also that good stories, bases for the "good old time comedies",can give us up to now good modern funny movies.... human nature never grows old.

Ole Sandbaek Joergensen I liked this movie, it was entertaining, fun, great sequences that you in some way or another can relate to and the dynamic of Rogen and Streisand works quit well.Barbra Streisand really is a good, caring, but also annoying mother, constantly meddling and correcting, but all-in-all she just tries to be a good mother. I guess we all know the feeling of trying to do something good and others don't see it the same way as we do or try to do.Seth Rogen is a science nerd, he has this great invention, but his social and people skills is missing something. It is facts and data, but when mother wears a bit on him and he uses a bit of showmanship, it works out.
