Kim Hollis: The Guilt Trip, the movie where Seth Rogen officially gave up, earned $4.4 million this weekend and has a running total of $31.1 million. Is this more, less, or about what you expected?

Felix Quinonez: I never thought this movie's box-office performance was going to be legendary but I didn't expect it to be this bad. I mean Parental Guidance is $21 million ahead and that came out a week later. The holiday season has been good to many movies but there had to be one that received coal in its stocking and that's The Guilt Trip.

Bruce Hall: Seth Rogen, Chevy Chase. Chevy Chase, Seth Rogen. I think at least one of you can learn something from the other.

Brett Ballard-Beach: La Streisand's fans didn't show up. Rogen's fans didn't show up. It looked like the perfect milquetoasty holiday fare to while away 90 minutes and pull in $60 million or so. Maybe somebody should have hit somebody in the crotch and been vomited upon?

Edwin Davies: This seemed like such a weird mix-up to me, castingwise. How many of Barbra Streisand's fans will want to go and see a movie starring Seth Rogen, and how many of Seth Rogen's fans know who Barbra Streisand is? It seemed like a really uninspired, tossed together effort from the casting, the premise and the not-funny-enough trailers. Had it been a better film, it might have been able to overcome some of those issues, but it's lack of quality just compounded them all. There's also an argument to be made that it was basically competing against This Is 40, but the two are so different in tone that it probably wasn't much of a factor in the first place.

David Mumpower: I resent the existence of this movie and I'm glad it failed.
