The Trip plot
"Eat, drink and try not to kill each other"
Steve Coogan has a culinary week ahead of him when he is commissioned by a newspaper to review a number of top restaurants in England's Lake District and Yorkshire Dales. His girlfriend pulls out at the last minute, so he hesitantly invites the always available Rob Brydon to join him on a trip. While enjoying haute cuisine, the two friends drive each other crazy with their endless discussions, but also discuss the most important ingredients for a happy life: family and friendship.

In this reality parody, Steve Coogan and Rob Brydon play an enlarged version of themselves. They clearly enjoyed themselves during this culinary trip through Northern England. At times their improvisations are really funny. Although they are forty-four, they still act like twenty-year-old acting students who believe they will become the next Al Pacino. Their contest to imitate Michael Caine reduces acting to doing voices, something they have both been successful with. Peter Sellers once said that he no longer has a personality of his own, but is just a collection of characters. That sometimes seems to be the case with these two gentlemen, most of all with Rob Brydon. It is surprising that he turns out to be a family man after all. Behind their merrymaking is insecurity, fear of being sidelined, a just-this-it-is feeling. One has to constantly prove that he is just that little bit funnier or more talented than the other. The limestone rocks - whether or not accompanied by geological explanations - ensure that it does not become too monotonous visually.

Tried this one, but it wasn't my thing anyway. It didn't have a real story, but it didn't get boring either. I didn't think the humor was that funny. I didn't know the 2 main characters, but I didn't really get excited about them either.
One viewing is enough.

Nice.
The chemistry between Coogan and Brydon is solid, so this film can build on that. The imitations are annoying enough to empathize with Coogan, Coogan is annoying enough to cheer for Brydon every now and then. And so the film changes nicely.
I thought the drama was a bit less successful. The ending is a bit too easy, it also regularly takes the pace out of the movie. Anyway, it takes a bit too long, I understand that there is also a series of 3 hours, but that doesn't seem like a good idea to me. Fifteen minutes off it could have made it a little tighter.
The setting didn't do much for me, too gloomy, but I could appreciate the banter between the two. Don't immediately feel like looking for the other three films, but maybe that will happen one day. Pretty nice video.
3.0*
