Before we get a trailer, Paramount Pictures is giving us a taste of their upcoming fall comedy The Guilt Trip in the form a clip. Directed by The Proposal helmer Anne Fletcher, we get to see  Seth Rogen as an inventor, convince his mother (played by Barbra Streisand) to embark on a week-long business trip.

They seem to have strong mother-son chemistry and with a script by Dan Fogelman, who actually turned out a smart, fun take on the rom-com with Crazy, Stupid, Love. last summer, this could be a welcome surprise. Check out the clip below, for the film also featuring Park & RecreationsAdam Scott, Community‘s Danny Pudi, as well as Yvonne Strahovski and Colin Hanks.

Synopsis:

Andy Brewster (Seth Rogen) is an inventor who lives in Los Angeles. He’s come up with an amazing organic cleaner but can’t get anyone interested in manufacturing it.

Andy plans a business trip to promote the product and decides to take his recently-widowed mother (Barbra Streisand) along for the ride. She’s been despondent since his father died, so he comes up with a great idea—during the trip he’ll surprise her with a stop in San Francisco, where one of her ex-flames lives.

The Guilt Trip hits theaters on December 25th, 2012.
