Movies that premiere on Christmas Day tend to appeal to family members of all ages — and boy, does The Guilt Trip fit that tradition. In one of the strangest on-screen duos in recent memory, Seth Rogen and Barbra Streisand are an inventor and the widowed mother he takes along on a cross-country roadtrip to sell one of his creations. The premise sounds a bit silly, but you know what? If the trailer is any indication, Rogen and Streisand actually make a likable comedy team, believably balancing sweet and awkward moments. Directed by choreographer turned filmmaker Anne Fletcher (The Proposal, 27 Dresses, Step Up), its cast also includes Adam Scott, Danny Pudi, Kathy Najimy, Colin Hanks, and Casey Wilson. If you must see a movie with Nana this Christmas, The Guilt Trip promises to be a perfectly decent option.
