Cleveronix A different way of telling a story

Dynamixor The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

Kodie Bird True to its essence, the characters remain on the same line and manage to entertain the viewer, each highlighting their own distinctive qualities or touches.

Rio Hayward All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

SnoopyStyle Steve Coogan gets work to write food reviews around Spain for the New York Times. He invites his long-time best friend Rob Brydon. Rob takes one look at his crying toddler and quickly accepts. It's a week of traveling and sarcastic impersonations. Steve's personal life intervenes on the trip.The guys continue their tradition of traveling, and eating, and talking. It's loads of impersonations and plenty of food porn. The Bowie bit is hilarious and it's all like that. This is for fans of the series and anybody who liked the original movie. This is very much the same as before. I do wonder if they should write the other restaurant patrons start objecting to their loud talking. It's kinda funny to see the background actors doing nothing while the pair goes crazy with their impersonations. It may be interesting to have them chuckle or do something.

Peter Kowalski The third installment of The Trip offers, let's be honest here, no appreciation to its surrounding. It might be in Spain, but it seems there is a complete lack of respect to the background; the movie could happen everywhere, anywhere. There is no appreciation to the food the are constantly eating or the sights they are surrounded by; they seem to be much more invested in mimicing Roger Moore and Ian Mccallan. The jokes are never funny, the story is thin, and the only thing that keeps you going are the views - but then again, you can catch that on YouTube. No matter where the duo goes next, I won't be joining.

serafinogm Absolutely brilliant! Coogan, Brydon, Keelan, & Barrio are so natural together it's like they aren't even acting, absolutely brilliant! It will never catch on in the United States as the average Joe likes stuff like Star Wars, Guardian of the Galaxy and that sort of fare. But I'm not an adolescent and I prefer headier fare, I simply can't stomach the action genre (except perhaps Daniel Craig playing Bond, now that's a bulldog). The cinematography in the trip movies is always first rate and this trip installment is no exception! Hats off to Michael Winterbottom, first rate job Michael, absolutely first rate! I must mention the piano accompaniment as it is always welcome, so wistful and, highlighting melancholia filled moments. This Trip movie ended with an interesting twist with Steve about to be taken captive by the mujahideen. My bet is Steve talks his way out of it perhaps by doing "no one expects the Spanish Inquisition" impression! In addition to the pure viewing pleasure one always learns a bit, these trip movies edify as well as entertain. I simply look forward to the next installment!

piedl If you need action and major special effects to enjoy a film, this will be your cup of tea. But I was excited to see another Coogan-Brydon venture come out and couldn't wait to watch it on Netflix. Like the Crosby-Hope road movies of old, "The Trip to Spain" repeats basically the same formula as its predecessors. Here, there are new impersonations added to the repertoire displayed in the past (David Bowie, John Hurt, Roger Moore), and a cliffhanger ending. It's not for everyone, but fans of Coogan and Brydon, especially those of us in the US who don't get to see most of their TV work, will enjoy it. One bonus for me was learning that Kyle Soller of the new Poldark is an American.
