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.
Think The Odd Couple with sartorial style and more bickering. Add hints of truisms about middle age, sex, family, mortality and the limits of friendship and The Trip reveals itself to be more than it initially appears.

The pinch of pathos in this tart comedy makes the "The Trip" a transportive experience.

Much more than an appetizer, if not quite a main course, it definitely goes down a treat.

The Trip is a comedy about two guys going to fancy restaurants in the English countryside. Sounds hilarious, huh? Well, it actually is.

The Trip is not about food; it's about friendship, one that will give you plenty to laugh - and think - about.
