In “The Trip,” actor Steve Coogan goes on a restaurant tour of the north of England, paid for by The Observer newspaper. He is accompanied by his friend, comedian Rob Brydon. The results are indeed mixed.
Much of the conversation and banter between the two is very dull and boring. Celebrity impressions of Sean Connery, Michael Caine, Woody Allen, etc., do liven things up a bit. The scenery of northern England is also a plus in this BBC television show edited into a feature film, directed by Michael Winterbottom.
However, we could go on our own holiday and have a better time of it. Beware of dry British humor at its worst when going on “The Trip,” which stalled at the box office.
