Top Gear: The Perfect Road Trip Trailers

The aim: to select the ideal mode of transport for each leg of a pilgrimage from Venice, Italy to Pau in France – home to a legendary street circuit and the origins of Grand Prix racing. On the way we prepare by taking to the track at Monza – the home of Italian Formula One. We try to get noticed on the road course in Monaco in a Bugatti, a Lamborghini and a Model T Ford. After cruising the canals in Venice we take to the tarmac and things look good - thanks to the Ferrari F12 Berlinetta and Mercedes SLS Black. Throw in a Pagani Huayra, Porsche Cayman S and a GT3 as well as the Aston Martin Vanquish centenary edition, Bentley V8 convertible, Rolls Royce Phantom coupe and the face-bending BAC Mono all seems pretty perfect to us.

PlatinumRead Just so...so bad
Huievest Instead, you get a movie that's enjoyable enough, but leaves you feeling like it could have been much, much more.
FuzzyTagz If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.
Stephan Hammond It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,
Mihai Toma Jeremy and Richard plan a perfect road trip across Europe and change a couple of extravagant cars (but not only) along the way. Their usual attitude is well kept so you can expect a lot of irony, some mini challenges and a lot of cheating from you know who!As usual, a great selection of cars, bikes and boats represents a great delight especially in the hands of the two Top Gear presenters but their perfect journey is a bit far from perfection (especially for Richard who is often driven in a bad mood by his rude colleague). Although I enjoyed most of the film, I have two objections: the obvious one is that James May isn't present (although they think of it as a good part) which represents the salt if the show was some sort of food and the second one is the finale, which is, for the first time in the series' history, utterly stupid...unexpected, but still stupid. Except those, a typically enjoyable Top Gear movie.
fredthehatter Hi,Well, i thought i'll be watching a movie and the 7.4 rating usually means something on IMDb (usually but there is some exceptions).Well, this one obviously is. So, don't watch this unless you really know what you're going to watch and you know you'll enjoy it. Some people enjoy tuning their cars some enjoy beating cats, some might enjoy watching this "documentary" about cars ...7,4, seriously ? I'd explain that with the fact nobody watch this except me and people who are specifically searching for this.I'd give it a 0,01 if it was possible ...
Joseph Kalai Was looking forward to this ever since I saw leaked shots of the filming on the web.Very little fooling around here. Just cars, cars and more cars with beautiful scenery and superb music.The ending was unexpected!The usual nonsense of the presenters are there (Clarkson cheating, Hammond's 'exotic' food aversion, making fun of James May, etc.)Somehow Top Gear UK loses some sparkle without James May, which is the case here. The banter between Jeremy and Richard lack a little pizazz at times, but its still good.Being Top Gear UK fans, my wife and I had an enjoyable evening watching this!
Rytis B First of all, Top Gear is known for a great car reviews, brilliant humour and entertainment. This DVD is no exception.In this DVD you will find: great cars, beautiful sceneries and entertaining hosts (Jeremy Clarkson and Richard Hammond), everything car enthusiast wants.My personal opinion about this movie. Firstly i loved the idea of the DVD itself, The Perfect Road Trip, because i'm dreaming about going on a roadtrip across Europe myself. What is more, the cars they used were incredible. The humour spot-on. The ending surprising.This DVD is suitable for everyone from car lovers to families. I think you don't need to be car enthusiast to like Top Gear, that's why Top Gear is so popular.I gave strong 9 for this DVD, it's really good but something's missing to get 10.
