THE TRIP (2011)
SYNOPSIS
THE TRIP brings director Michael Winterbottom and the
hilarious Steve Coogan and Rob Brydon (24 HOUR
PARTY PEOPLE, A COCK AND BULL STORY) back
together in a side-splitting road comedy. The film
follows the pair on a hysterical odyssey that has won
over audiences at the Toronto and Tribeca Film
Festivals, and has critics rolling in the aisles.
When Steve Coogan is asked by The Observer to tour
the country's finest restaurants, he envisions it as the
perfect getaway with his beautiful girlfriend. But, when
she backs out on him, he has no one to accompany
him but his best friend and source of eternal
aggravation, Rob Brydon. As the brilliant comic duo,
freestyling with flair, drive each other mad with
constant competition and showdowns of competing
impressions (including dueling Michael Caines, Sean
Connerys and Al Pacinos), the ultimate odd couple
realize in the end a rich amount about not only good
food, but the nature of fame, relationships and their
own lives.
