Terrific stuff.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Jul 15, 2011

The Trip is a comedy about two guys going to fancy restaurants in the English countryside. Sounds hilarious, huh? Well, it actually is.

| Original Score: B+ | Jul 8, 2011

Fuelled by some inspired and very funny improvisations - their duelling Michael Caine impersonations are a scream - the film gradually settles into a meditation on mid-life malaise.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jul 4, 2011

Much more than an appetizer, if not quite a main course, it definitely goes down a treat.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Jul 1, 2011

The pinch of pathos in this tart comedy makes the "The Trip" a transportive experience.

| Original Score: 3.5/4 | Jul 1, 2011

Think The Odd Couple with sartorial style and more bickering. Add hints of truisms about middle age, sex, family, mortality and the limits of friendship and The Trip reveals itself to be more than it initially appears.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Jun 30, 2011

The Trip works surprisingly well on the big screen as one continuous tale. That's down to its two leading men, who clearly relish sharing screen time with one another.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Jun 28, 2011

The joy of this small, unimportant contest is weirdly addictive; you come out of the film as if from a concert, playing the music of false voices in your head.

[The] humor in this film is so strong and so overpowering there were more than a few instances where my gut began to hurt because I was laughing so hard.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Jun 25, 2011

A comic diversion that aspires to the old Seinfeld gag of being 'about nothing.'

| Jun 17, 2011

It's rife with observations about men of a certain age, actors of a certain career -- and for a bonus, restaurants of a certain moment.

Full Review | Original Score: 3.5/4 | Jun 17, 2011

Have you ever been trapped in the back seat of a car while the old married couple up front bickers and banters for hours? It's either sheer torture or, if the couple happens to be Steve Coogan and Rob Brydon, wildly entertaining.

| Original Score: 3.5/4 | Jun 17, 2011

It's two guys traveling, eating and talking. Doesn't sound like much. But it's terrific.

| Original Score: 4/4 | Jun 16, 2011

Coogan and Brydon, as they proved earlier in Winterbottom's brilliant "Tristram Shandy: A Cock and Bull Story," are a pair of pretty funny guys to spend time with; their riff on "We leave at daybreak!" is almost worth the ticket price.

Full Review | Original Score: 2.5/4 | Jun 16, 2011

Suggests a reality 온라인카지노추천 fusion of "Sideways'' and a Bob Hope/Bing Crosby "Road'' movie, or maybe "My Dinner With Andre'' repurposed into a movable feast.

| Original Score: 3.5/4 | Jun 16, 2011

A rambling but illuminating odyssey that has as much to do with friendship - and the competition and conflicts that come with it - as it does with celebrating the comedic chops of its two stars.

| Original Score: 4/4 | Jun 16, 2011

The odyssey goes on a bit too long, and I suppose a taste for extra dry British comedy is a requirement, but this Trip is well worth one.

| Original Score: B+ | Jun 16, 2011

The movie offers enough good one-liners, both comic and ruminative, to hold one's interest, but don't expect much else.

| Jun 16, 2011

This is a great deal more entertaining than it sounds, in large part because the two actors are gifted mimics -- Brydon the better one, although Coogan doesn't think so.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Jun 16, 2011

During the film's funny stretches, as when Brydon and Coogan get into a loud public row about who does the better Michael Caine, I was laughing too hard to care about unexplored character arcs.
