I give this movie a 4 out of 5. I really enjoyed this movie. I loved Seth Rogen's character (Andy Brewster) and Barbra Streisand as his mother (Joyce Brewster). The duo made a perfect combination. Andy is the inventor of a new organic cleaning product, "ScioClean". He has made several attempts to get his new product on store shelves but every time he has delivered his sales pitch, the buyers are so bored they don't even let him finish. Not wanting to disappoint his mother, whenever she asks how things are going with his business, he lies and says things are excellent. One evening before he takes a planned road trip to Las Vegas to meet up with a potential client, Andy stops in New Jersey to visit his mother. During his visit, Joyce discloses to him that he was named after a guy that she once dated and thought she was going to marry named Andrew Margolis. While dating Andrew, Joyce meets Andy's dad and shortly after, he asks for her hand in marriage. Hoping that Andrew would object to their union, she confronts him and he tells her he isn't ready to be tied down and to go ahead and marry Andy's dad. This hurts Joyce deeply and she believes that he never cared for her at all. Soon after she is married, she discovers she is pregnant and she decides to name the baby Andrew "Andy" after her first love. Andy's dad has been deceased for several years now, and since then, his mom hasn't had any new guys in her life or much of a life at all. This realization makes Andy sad and he decides that he wants to reunite his mother and her first love, Andrew. It's a win, win. It makes him happy to see his mom happy and it gets her out of his hair. After a little research, he finds Andrew Margolis, unmarried, and living in San Francisco. He invites his mother on his road trip and secretly plans a visit to Andrew's house after his pitch in Vegas. At first, his mother is a little skeptical, but quickly agrees because nothing sounds better than some much needed one on one time with her baby. This movie had a perfect mix of funny moments, heart warming moments, and even sad moments. I found this movie very entertaining and would certainly watch it again.
