Description

THE TRIP is an improvised tour of the North of England reuniting comedy favorites Steve Coogan and Rob Brydon. In the style of Curb your Enthusiasm, the story is fictional but based around their real personas. When Steve is commissioned by the food supplement of a Sunday newspaper to review half a dozen restaurants, he decides to mix work with pleasure and plans a trip around the North of England with his food loving American girlfriend. But when his girlfriend decides to leave him and return to the States, Steve is faced with a week of meals for one, not quite the trip he had in mind. Reluctantly, he calls Rob, the only person he can think of who will be available. Rob, never one to turn down a free lunch (let alone six) agrees, and together they set off for a culinary adventure.

    I would have loved to love this movie. Fell asleep 3 times and didn’t miss anything. A few parts were amusing, awesome landscape of the north.

    This was the 1st time I'd seen this duo and I absolutely enjoyed every minute. I'm a fan of these guys and am looking forward to seeing the trip to Spain again. Saw it- loved it. There dry wit is contagious. Highly recommend these movies 🎥. Bravo 👏

    If I was a patron in a restaurant, the same time these two were there, I would choke on my food
  • Seriously, this is all you people could come up with?

    This series is really pathetic and by the time you maybe work your way half way through without falling asleep, you are ready to throw it out the door because of being annoying as hell. KEEP YOUR MONEY!!

    I didn't know what to expect ,but it was just superb, the impressions amazing, "the man in the box" michael caine, sean connery, hugh grant, and more importantly a look at the mechanics of acting, the use of sound , timbre, timing, a truly fantastic look into what makes truly fantastic actors work. As a professional violinist, this aspect was beyond fascinating. The Yorkshire Dales and constant scallop dishes (whats that about) it was thoroughly worth every penny ! VERY english

    A great example of dry British comedic banter. Don't go into this expecting a travelogue of northern England. It's a buddy flick, with a touch of food snobbery. The quick dialogue, gorgeous scenery and suggestive consequences of man's many choices that make it a keeper for me.
  • BORING!

    One star given for the scenery & the chefs' creations. If you want to watch two impressionists compete...over & over & over...this is for you. Waste of time & money. BTW, my English husband says I am being kind here. I could certainly elaborate, but then I would be...boring.
  • ok. really bad.

    don’t waste your time even thinking about renting this one. After 30 minutes of mind numbing dialogue I quit watching. Not funny, not well written.

    I loved seeing and learning about the history of Northern England through this film. I loved the character impressions. I thought the relationship that the travelers carved out was deeply human. The fancy food became an almost unimpressive aside to the delicious and witty repartee.
