(Watched as 6 x 30 minutes series, not as a movie.) This was okay. Too much time spent eating, not enough time spent enjoying the sights. Too much of Steve Coogan bullying Rob Brydon to assert his superiority; he needs to be nicer. But it was okay. Not boring. Interesting throughout.

just mediocre, couldn't finish watching it

So entertaining! I want more. Love the chats over meals

An infectious chemistry between Coogan and Brydon births some fantastic comedy; the timing pairs brilliantly with improv flavored dry humor, even if the film struggles at point to break through the episodic structure of the original series in establishing a consistent flow. (4/5)

Slow, tedious, and pointless. Anyone else in the backseat of the car on this road trip would have unceremoniously removed their brains from their head Pulp Fiction style. You know that guy who never stops doing annoying impressions. The person everyone wants to hit in the face with a shovel? Boost his level of annoying to 11 and then multiply him by two. Now sit through 3 meals a day with them over the course of a week. That's "The Trip" in a nutshell. I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy. Rating: F

Boring artsy movie that has Steve coogan.

I think Steve Coogan is a terrific actor. But, if he thought audiences would warm up to him after this self-indulgent snorefest, he's sadly mistaken. "The Trip" shows him to be a pathetic, narcisstic, wretch of a man, and interminably, terminally boring. Whether or not this is true is perhaps still up in the air, but as this is a "semi-autobiographical" piece, if even half of it is true, it's still not a good reflection on him. Oh, and did I mention this film is just plain unfunny? The plot centers around Coogan being hired to write a piece on touring restaurants/inns in the English countryside. As probably most people would rather be kidnapped by Hezbollah rather than be stuck in a car touring the bleak English countryside in the dead of winter with him (which includes his equally narcisstic American "girlfriend," who scrambled back to the States to escape his vortex of dull), he's reduced to asking Britain's answer to Rich Little, Rob Brydon, to tag along. The rest of the picture is a mishmash of high-end restaurant dinners, Brydon's Catskill-esque impressions, and Coogan's immensely boring life. And I don't know how he produced the piece he was hired for, as he never produces a notebook or laptop. It's as if the producer/writer didn't even care to try and adhere to the plot. There is perhaps one use for this snoozer: they should give it to hospices, because sitting through two hours of this dreck feels like years.

A wonderful surprise! So funny, yet with its own serious moments of sadness, and set perfectly across the English Midlands. The bantering between Steve & Rob is hilarious, highlighted by the best Bond impressions ever! Absolutely a must see travel-eat-laugh romp!

Has interesting and entertaining moments but mostly slow and dull.

Immensely funny, two buddies road trip around Northern England

Wanted to like it more than I did. Sometimes funny, sometimes self-indulgent.

Next time you guys go on a Trip , make it your own Home-movie ! If everyone who can make some impersonations of populair people would go on a trip and eat in the meanwhile ....I see enough foot on tv and good and bad belgian impersonators also . The Trip to Italy mm

I think the first big laugh I got out of this is when Steve Coogan puts on Joy Division as this week-long road trip's soundtrack. Because that's who we all want driving us around the British countryside: Ian Curtis' depressed ghost! Overall, this film was uncomfortable, sad, a complete love letter to northern England (which makes me sad that I didn't visit there), and also brilliantly brilliantly funny at times. I initially opened it on Netflix because nothing else sounded particularly good, either. And then I watched the whole thing and thoroughly enjoyed it. If you're not a fan of poetry, of living deep in English culture, of pretentious foodie b.s., and of comedy that runs from the deepest to the shallowest sides of the pool: then steer clear. If you've ever thought it would be uuuhhmaaaazing to spend a night or weekend around a bunch of comics: Watch this. (And Louie.) And then you'll see what a special kind of hell that would be!! Haha

A slow moving, but enjoyable "two buddies on a road trip" movie. The idea is that both travel around Northern England dining at various restaurants. This is really much more about friendship and how they interact with each other. Some of the banter is very funny.

This was like the English version of the movie Sideways. I loved it!

The Trip, which originally aired as a 온라인카지노추천 series in the UK, has been edited to be a single, hilarious film. Starring Steve Coogan and Rob Brydon as slightly fictionalized versions of themselves, the premise shouldn't work, but it absolutely does. Two British comedians driving around Europe, eating food. What transpires is a gut bustingly hilarious, and truly insightful comedic gem. I think it probably would work better in its original 온라인카지노추천 series format, but it nevertheless is one of the funniest comedies I've seen in years.

Hilarious, insightful, and sometimes poignant, The Trip is a laugh-out-loud funny comedy led by the wonderful chemistry between Steven Coogan and Rob Brydon. Their improvisation and celebrity impersonation are truly masterful, and the more you know about British actors, the better the experience is going to be. I liked it very much.

I liked the sequel better, there were more successful impressions and funnier conversations in it. And also I found the competition between them a bit annoying, it was overall fun though.

The first part of this fantastic duos trip up north to experience food drink and what's on offer. At times hilarious but never boring. My cup of tea.

"Death is but a moment, cowardice is a lifetime of affliction." Steve Coogan and Rob Brydon play somewhat alternate versions of themselves in this film based on their 온라인카지노추천 series of the same name which was also directed by Michael Winterbottom. About 70 minutes have been cut off from the series to fit the film format, but the flow of the story doesn't seem to be affected by it. The Trip is a fun ride which banks on the strong chemistry between Steve Coogan and Rob Brydon while also exploiting the gorgeous landscape of Northern England. The script is mostly improvised and the funniest moments are when Coogan and Brydon are competing over who can imitate Michael Caine better. They also have fun imitating Woody Allen, Ian McKellan, Sean Connery, among others. The plot revolves almost entirely on both actors conversing with each other as they are driving through the beautiful landscape or eating at elegant restaurants, and as boring as the premise sounds, the film works nonetheless thanks to their chemistry. Perhaps the greatest critique I might have towards this film is that Coogan is supposed to be touring through Northern England to write about the food served at these elegant restaurants, but there is almost no discussion about it. We get plenty of scenes of them eating, but they rarely discuss the food and neither of them seem to be qualified to do so. The film looks amazing because of the wonderful locations and the great food, but it is only an excuse to get these two actors together on a road trip. Coogan was actually supposed to tour the country with his girlfriend, but she had to return to America so he is forced to travel with Rob. The Trip does focus on Steve's fading relationship with her and due to the terrible reception in every inn they stay at, he is forced to make the calls out in the open with the gorgeous backdrop which elevates the film even more. The friendship between Steve and Rob isn't the typical bond you'd see in a buddy comedy either, since there is some competition between both of them and Steve seems to be aggravated towards him most of the time. There is an air of superiority that he exudes which plays somewhat on the familiar theme of ego and envy among actors. It isn't a great film, but it has its fun moments and it looks amazing. http://estebueno10.blogspot.com/
