The Trip

Matthew_Lucas

Steve Coogan and Rob Brydon play themselves in this occasionally meandering, occasionally inspired comedy that finds Coogan as a guest food critic on a road trip to visit various restaurants, having to drag his neurotic friend along with him. Self-reflexive and often melancholy, the film is a probing, if uneven exploration of loneliness through the eyes of two men adrift in stagnant careers.

Matt Richards

Loose, funny, touching at times but ultimately a forgettable grazing-road-trip film. Made from a 6 part tv series it's a decent attempt at post modernising the genre, shot on HD with large portions of improv. 3 stars

It's like Itchy and Scratchy eating scallops, doing Michael Caine impressions, and singing ABBA, for 1h45, but I love it.

I have watched only two of Winterbottom's films and have absolutely loved them because of their subtleness and acute interpretation of the intricacies of human behavior. Brilliant director.Will definitely watch more of his films.

The same as in Tristram Shandy, I couldn't care less about Coogan's unsatisfying solitary love life subplot but his moments with Brydon are more than enough to make it worth your while. "You're stuck in a metaphor!".

RENO NISMARA.

while it reminds me a bit of kelly reichardt's old joy, the trip is certainly a magical lol-fest. it's the funniest film i have seen this year. about the similarities, just remember what rob brydon said in the film, "it's 2010! everything has been done before, all you can do is do something someone's done before, but do it better, or differently."

A number of funny improvised skits and tons of imitations make up the bulk of this tiresome and under-directed film. 43/100 - Bad

Yes, it does goes for a bit too long and the ending lays it on cake thick but the chemistry between Coogan & Brydon is undeniable. A strong 3 1/2 for sure.
