Abraham W Mar 12, 2019 Slow, tedious, and pointless. Anyone else in the backseat of the car on this road trip would have unceremoniously removed their brains from their head Pulp Fiction style. You know that guy who never stops doing annoying impressions. The person everyone wants to hit in the face with a shovel? Boost his level of annoying to 11 and then multiply him by two. Now sit through 3 meals a day with them over the course of a week. That's "The Trip" in a nutshell. I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy. Rating: F See more

Albus R Feb 7, 2018 Boring artsy movie that has Steve coogan.

Kylo P Sep 4, 2017 I think Steve Coogan is a terrific actor. But, if he thought audiences would warm up to him after this self-indulgent snorefest, he's sadly mistaken. "The Trip" shows him to be a pathetic, narcisstic, wretch of a man, and interminably, terminally boring. Whether or not this is true is perhaps still up in the air, but as this is a "semi-autobiographical" piece, if even half of it is true, it's still not a good reflection on him. Oh, and did I mention this film is just plain unfunny? The plot centers around Coogan being hired to write a piece on touring restaurants/inns in the English countryside. As probably most people would rather be kidnapped by Hezbollah rather than be stuck in a car touring the bleak English countryside in the dead of winter with him (which includes his equally narcisstic American "girlfriend," who scrambled back to the States to escape his vortex of dull), he's reduced to asking Britain's answer to Rich Little, Rob Brydon, to tag along. The rest of the picture is a mishmash of high-end restaurant dinners, Brydon's Catskill-esque impressions, and Coogan's immensely boring life. And I don't know how he produced the piece he was hired for, as he never produces a notebook or laptop. It's as if the producer/writer didn't even care to try and adhere to the plot. There is perhaps one use for this snoozer: they should give it to hospices, because sitting through two hours of this dreck feels like years. See more

Han P Aug 5, 2017 A wonderful surprise! So funny, yet with its own serious moments of sadness, and set perfectly across the English Midlands. The bantering between Steve & Rob is hilarious, highlighted by the best Bond impressions ever! Absolutely a must see travel-eat-laugh romp! See more

Ron S Jan 4, 2017 Has interesting and entertaining moments but mostly slow and dull.

Ron S Dec 24, 2014 I found this more annoying than funny
