Entertainment Reviews:
Now, in a way, The Trip is terribly up to date. Now, in a way, The Trip is terribly up to date. The Trip harks back to when movies, still not far removed from vaudeville, showcased stars who were able to do acts...

The Trip is not about food; it's about friendship, one that will give you plenty to laugh - and think - about.

Miami Herald
A wry, touching and often funny study of friendship and fame. All in all, it's a beautifully judged and original piece of comedy.

The Arts Desk
[A] British road movie laced with lacerating laughs....Mr. Coogan has made a career partly by riffing on narcissism and he's in fine self-loving form, as is Mr. Brydon.
New York Times
Rating: 3/5 --
Fuelled by some inspired and very funny improvisations - their duelling Michael Caine impersonations are a scream - the film gradually settles into a meditation on mid-life malaise.

The Age (Australia)
The cream of the jests comes when Steve and Rob exchange impressions of Michael Caine.
Wall Street Journal
Rating: 3/4 --
Think The Odd Couple with sartorial style and more bickering. Add hints of truisms about middle age, sex, family, mortality and the limits of friendship and The Trip reveals itself to be more than it initially appears.

Product Description:
Steve Coogan and Rob Brydon reprise their roles from Michael Winterbottom's TRISTRAM SHANDY: A COCK AND BULL STORY for this tale of a restaurant critic who reluctantly invites his obnoxious best friend on a business trip through the English countryside. Tapped by The Observer to review fine restaurants throughout the Lake District and Yorkshire Dales, Steve (Coogan) finds himself without a traveling companion after his girlfriend decides not to go at the last minute. After being turned down by everyone he knows, Steve extends an invitation to Rob (Brydon), and together the pair attempts to navigate the winding back roads of rural England, impersonating popular celebrities and bickering endlessly along the way.
