SpecialsTarget Disturbing yet enthralling

Hadrina The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

Ogosmith Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.

Claire Dunne One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.

SnoopyStyle Actor Steve Coogan (Steve Coogan) agrees to write for The Observer newspaper to go on a tour of restaurants in the north of England. He planned to go with gourmet girlfriend Mischa but she left him to work in America. He recruits his happily-married 11 year long actor friend Rob Brydon (Rob Brydon) to join him. Coogan is still chasing skirts and chasing that Hollywood stardom. Emma is Coogan's assistant.This is a B.S. movie. It's fiction that feels real. The two actors are playing an alt version of themselves and there is a reality to their friendship. It works best when the two faux-characters B.S. each other. The best B.S. are their impersonations and the funniest impersonation is their constant need for Michael Caine. There is an aimlessness to the so-called plot. Like the characters, I also want to go home at some point and the movie is probably a bit too long.

annmarin-77132 I am so in love with this film. It is along the lines of a "My Dinner with Andre", so watchable, so funny, so warm, I just love it.I really like road trip films, and these two buddies are so fun to watch. The first time I saw it , I was so sad to see it end.Steve Coogan plays (himself?) a successful actor and his sidekick is his second-choice companion on an English road trip full of meals, flirting, historic landmarks, and quirky small village accommodations.Hilarity ensues with much singing of Abba songs, impersonations of Sir Anthony Hopkins, and more.Give it a go... I think you'll like it!

zentro I realize I am supposed to be in awe of the protagonists' witty impressions. The problem is I just didn't find them funny or even that good. And I kept expecting there to be some kind of relevant plot or point but there was none to be found. I am normally a fan of all things British but this film left me feeling like had wasted time.The only redeeming value for this film was the beautiful countryside. The cinematography was quite nice. One did get the "feel" of rural England. Foodies will perhaps vicariously enjoy the indulgent dishes served. Watch if you want to see two guys who are both annoying go at each other. Watch if a plot or a point is not important to you.

michaelhirakida The Trip is Steve Coogan and Rob Brydon's vacation sitcom that is basically the two comedians going to different restaurants in the North of Britain. Now, it could be funny if they didn't have such thin material. So why in the world did they decide to cut it down into a 114 minute movie? The problems is it follows a structure that you can point out very easily. Here is what happens in every lets say 25 minutes:1. They Drive and Talk. 2. They get a room at a hotel. 3. They eat as it inner cuts 4. While they are eating, they make impressions of famous stars. 5. As Dramatic Music plays, they talk on the phone with people.Follow that same structure at least 6 times and you got a very thin movie. Oh and if your lucky:6. Steve Coogan has a Bad Dream.The impressions are spot on and funny at first, but then it just becomes hideously boring and you wish they would do something other than impressions.The food looks gorgeous and it is interesting to hear what Coogan and Brydon have to say about it as they eat pigeon, duck, lamb, scallops, soup and more rich stuff. The problem I have is that its the same thing over and over again. The structure is very basic and does not take any risks whatsoever. What if something bad happened on the road trip? What if their car broke down? What if they had a fight? Sure they argue, but it doesn't lead to anything serious. Come on! I'm dying to see something different, but all I'm getting is the same stuff over and over again!If you watched the Trailers it looks like it was going to be a hilarious movie full of comedy and food. But it lies to us. It actually is quite depressing because of the music at the end of a restaurant scene. There is rarely any music and it should have been that way throughout. I don't like this sad music. Where is the upbeat and happy music? But I guess it fits because the whole movie is Grey. Look at the poster! Does it look like a boring drama film? No! It looks exactly like a comedy but it doesn't do anything to be different!Maybe if I watched the uncut series, I would have liked it better, but I am reviewing a film. Not a comedy series.If you like food, skip this because the scenes in the restaurants are rushed. If you love comedy. Skip it because it takes no risks. If you really want fun. Don't watch it at all. It really is depressing and the ending is not funny. This movie fails at comedy. Now could you believe there is a sequel!?... I'll get to that sometime.54/100 C
