The Trip

The Trip

I have just returned from a trip to Montreal. The driving was difficult with a lot of traffic. I didn’t want to see another car for a long time. The Trip was the last thing I wanted to see.

I was wrong. This film was delightful, humorous and a lot of fun. It was an easy road trip and lots of fun

Two actor /comediennes from England film their five day trip to northern England to write about the exotic meals at some outstanding inns,

Steve Coogan had hoped to do the journey with his girlfriend. She baled out at the last minute so Steve asked his friend Rob Brydon to join him.

The two men are hilarious. They joke all the way. They are excellent at impersonating Michael Caine and Woody Allen. During many of their fine gourmet dinners they speak in the voice of Allen and Caine. They are both excellent at this task.

We get to see the magical countryside. I loved the stone fences that went along the roadside of the narrow lanes. The countryside was lovely.

Best of all was viewing the spectacular food eaten at the charming inns. Scallops seemed to be their favorite food. It was prepared in a variety of ways. The three different chocolate selections for one dessert made my mouth water. What a joyous occasion.

The two men were colleagues and friends. They both appreciated the fine dining.

It was interesting to witness the homecoming. One returns to a loving wife and young child. The other returns to a beautifully furnished but empty apartment.

This film delighted me from beginning to end. It is a delightful road trip that will not tire you.
