DESCRIPTION

Dan Fogelman, the scriptwriter of the new comedy “The Guilt Trip,” based his script on his relationship with his own mother. The writer, who gave us last year’s funny “Crazy, Stupid, Love,” sat down with me for this interview where we talked about:

*** Why he chose to write “The Guilt Trip”
*** What made him want to air out his dirty laundry.
*** The character of Joyce played by Barbra Streisand
*** Did director Anne Fletcher help shape his vision?
*** Did Seth Rogen and Streisand capture his relationship with his mommy?
