The Trip

Picture you and a friend on a one week road trip. Think of the places you'd stop, the food you would eat, the songs you sing, the endless bad impressions you would do in each other's company. Also think about the conversations you may have. The off the wall "What If" conversations, the explanations of topics that you consider yourself an expert in.  Think of how much fun you would have, but also think about how might get on each other's nerves a bit.

Well that, in a nutshell, is what The Trip is all about. You may think that this would  be the most boring movie ever, but luckily, this trip had a well paid editor who took only the best bits and left the rest on the cutting room floor.

The Trip should have you laughing from almost the first moment when Steeve Coogan clumsily invites his friend Rob Brydon along for a road trip tour of high class restaurants through out England. From pretty much then on in, the trip is nothing but their conversations, sing alongs, observances, etc. and it is hilarious!

This movie isn't for everyone as there are no car crashes, explosions, or even plot for that matter, but if you want to watch a good "Day in the life" comedy, I would totally recommend this.

4/5 Stars.
