They have many adventures and mishaps along the way. First, Andy ends up getting a small compact car due to his mother’s insistence that he do so to save money. He later regrets this when he ends up driving the car in a bad snowstorm. His mother’s choice of audio books drives him crazy as does her constant insistence that he drink more water.

As the miles roll past and tensions mount and eventually bubble over into an argument that leave both with regrets over things that were said, they discover that they have more in common than they originally thought. Andy discovers his mother actually has some very valuable wisdom to help him in his business and his life. Rent The Guilt Trip and watch it with your family tonight.
