From my favorite movies..

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.

I don't think I laughed once. No wonder, I got it at the Dollar store, couldn't sell it in regular stores. I'd rank it someplace on a scale as "Eraserhead". These guys just act weird, not funny.

There is much to like about this unique little film - witty often improvised dialog, unbelievably beautiful landscapes of rural northern England, the food (THE FOOD!). The 2 main characters are on a road trip assignment to review various high-end restaurants. The movie captures these dining experiences and the shared time between these 2 long-time friends. The leads are very engaging although at times the underlying competitiveness of their relationship is a little off-putting and repetitive, but probably an accurate portrayal of such characters.Originally a British TV series, the film is an condensed version of one season, and the result (for time purposes) feels a little short-changed in the development of the characters. However, the overall fun in watching the movie makes this flaw acceptable.Be sure to watch the DVD bonus feature focusing on the food eaten throughout the movie as the bonus feature details the plating and preparation which are a little hurried during the main feature.A recently released film documenting this twosome on a journey in Italy should be a worthy follow-up.For my other movie reviews, please visit: https://nomorewastedmovienights.wordpress.com

There's a lot of dialog. It's done in a realistic way. There's also beautiful scenery of the English countryside. If you enjoy Brit comedies and shows, you should enjoy this also. It reminds me of the Brit series "Downton Abbey", which they reference in the movie, the place, not the series. It's not a comedy, but some parts are amusing.It is slow moving, so that's why I say to sit back & relax. I can't say that I would have appreciated it as much had I viewed it in a theater, instead of the comfort of my home. You could term the movie as a slice of life, because of the way the dialog was written. It's not fancy in it's presentation.

Steve Coogan and Rob Brydon are back once again playing a fictionalized version of themselves in "The Trip". In one of their previous films, "Tristram Shandy: A Cock and Bull Story" which I have not seen yet, but have heard great things, Coogan and Brydon play the same characters. Unfortunately, "The Trip" is not that great of film.The film plays on one note, and never progressively gets better. The whole film is Coogan and Brydon either driving, or eating a meal, and in which they bicker at each other and do famous celebrity impersonations. The plot is that Steve is hired by a newspaper to write about his journey to different restaurants in northern England. The film just never goes anywhere. It becomes very bland, and it feels as if the same thing is happening over and over again.The film is directed by Michael Winterbottom who also made "Tristram Shandy", and his directing style felt to stiff. But I am curious to see the first film. I give "The Trip" a 5 out of 10.
