Review of The Trip (2011) by Bill R — 18 Oct 2011
Cast: Steve Coogan, Rob Brydon, Claire Keelan, Margo Stilley, Rebecca Johnson, Dolya Gavanski, Kerry Shale, Paul Popplewell.
Director: Michael Winterbottom.
Summary: Steve Coogan and Rob Brydon, the stars of the 2005 comedy Tristram Shandy, reunite with director Michael Winterbottom for this mockumentary about a pair of actors -- handily named Steve and Rob -- who embark on a foodie road trip across England. Mostly improvised and highlighting the duo's penchant for dueling impressions of famous actors, the film follows them as they test their friendship while sampling the best restaurants in Northern England.
My Thoughts: "I'm always down for a road trip flick, so I had to check this film out. It was quite funny. You could easily feel some of the tension between the character's sparing from their competitiveness. The dinner conversations are the shinning moments in the film. Rob seems very fulfilled in his life and career where as Steve is unsatisfied with his and leads a bit of a lonely life. It's a good road trip comedy. Worth taking a look at.".
