Movie Review | ‘The Trip'

2 Pairs of Sharp Elbows On White Tablecloths

  • June 9, 2011

In contrast to Roger Corman’s 1967 freakout, “The Trip,” no hallucinogens are harmed in the Michael Winterbottom comedy of the same title, a British road movie laced with lacerating laughs and starring Steve Coogan and Rob Brydon . Mr. Coogan does, in fact, smoke a joint, lighting up in the same house where Coleridge wrote “Dejection: An Ode” and indulged in opium, the soporific that enslaved him in “humiliation and debasement.” Mr. Coogan has made a career partly by riffing on narcissism and he’s in fine self-loving form, as is Mr. Brydon. For one man, the humiliation of choice here is fame (with a debasement chaser), while for the other it’s his incessant vocal mugging. Both give you a contact high.

The duo’s dueling funnymen routine will be familiar if you’ve seen a few of Mr. Winterbottom’s earlier films, including “Tristram Shandy: A Cock and Bull Story,” or were in Britain last fall and caught “The Trip” when it was a six-part BBC2 television series . The title, premise and almost everything else in both the big- and small-screen versions are identical because, well, they’re essentially the same , save for the movie’s abbreviated length (111 minutes) and some gags lost in translation. To rewind: Mr. Coogan accepts a gig from The Observer of London to review six restaurants in northern England. He plans to take his (pretend) girlfriend, Mischa (Margo Stilley), but is forced, with demonstrable reluctance, to ask Mr. Brydon instead. Straightaway, the two friendly combatants are motoring out of London in a Range Rover, maps and gags at the ready.

As in many road movies, the trip becomes an occasion for philosophizing, a journey inward and out as the men joust and parry, improvising and entertaining each other, at times by imitating, hilariously, someone else (Michael Caine, Sean Connery). They also eat, of course, often and well, dining in restaurants where the rooms and service are hushed and the dishes extravagantly conceptualized and prepared. (With The Observer paying, money isn’t an issue.) There are gardens of vegetables, oceans of seafood, a veritable abattoir of meat. At the Cumbrian restaurant L’Enclume (one Michelin star), the near-parodic haute and low offerings include lollipops “made out of duck fat with peanuts” (“Why not?” Mr. Coogan muses) and some foamy pea-green ick made from mallow, ginger beer and whiskey and served in a martini glass.

“The consistency,” Mr. Coogan says after braving a sip, “is a bit like snot.” Pause. “But it tastes great.”

97. the trip (2011)

In between the truffle ravioli and Burgundy, the vocal caricatures and Lake District landscapes, Mr. Coogan and Mr. Brydon goad each other with prickly jokes and smiled insults all while comparing their successes, reciting poetry and walking the moors, as well as an occasional tightrope. Sometimes the camaraderie edges into aggression that is soon snuffed out with laughter. Mr. Coogan’s stated desire to act for film-art “auteurs,” is one well-chewed bone they tug at, as is Mr. Brydon’s populist appeal. Since they worked with Mr. Winterbottom in his 2002 film “24 Hour Party People,” Mr. Brydon has continued to blow up bigger in Britain, while Mr. Coogan’s Hollywood future has dimmed (his star turn in “Around the World in 80 Days” went nowhere), developments that give “The Trip” a sting of truth.

Oh, how Mr. Coogan aches for celebrity. Or at least that’s what his on-screen character yearns for. It’s unclear which is which, who is who, and that’s part of the journey — the destination too. To the extent that the man at the wheel (Mr. Coogan) and the guy riding shotgun (Mr. Brydon) are playacting is a question that Mr. Winterbottom and his stars enjoyably bat around. Does it matter where a performer ends and the persona begins, or if the two can be separated? In “The Trip” you search for authenticity among the jokes and lulls, but what you get is what you see and hear: Mr. Coogan sniping, eating and whining, endlessly whining, about the size of his rooms, the state of his career, and Mr. Brydon a blissful foil. It’s plenty real.

Even so, it’s impossible to know if Mr. Coogan is honestly wounded and if Mr. Brydon is as cheerfully impervious to insult as he appears. It’s easier to guess: maybe so. In one scene Mr. Coogan tries to mimic Mr. Brydon’s popular “small man in a box” voice and its tiny peeping, but fails. Looking into a mirror, Mr. Coogan says with strangled effort — addressing his twin self, the one perhaps responsible for great Coogan creations like Alan Partridge — “I don’t care about silly voices.” It’s a perfect encapsulation of the contradictions and sad-funny neediness that “The Trip” gets at so well and a moment that Mr. Winterbottom almost blows with the tinkling piano that creeps onto the soundtrack whenever things turn self-consciously serious. There’s no need to milk the tears when, like the laughs, they’re already flowing.

Opens on Friday in Manhattan.

Directed by Michael Winterbottom; director of photography, Ben Smithard; edited by Mags Arnold and Paul Monaghan; music by Michael Nyman; produced by Andrew Eaton and Melissa Parmenter; released by IFC Films. Running time: 1 hour 51 minutes. This film is not rated.

WITH: Steve Coogan (Steve), Rob Brydon (Rob), Claire Keelan (Emma), Margo Stilley (Mischa), Rebecca Johnson (Sally), Dolya Gavanski (Magda) and Kerry Shale (Steve’s United States Agent).

The Trip Reviews

97. the trip (2011)

A showcase for two performers who bring a sense of humor and rumination to the gorgeous scenery on display, the outcome proves deceivingly simple and yet one of the funniest films of recent memory.

Full Review | Original Score: 3.5/4 | Mar 11, 2023

97. the trip (2011)

I enjoyed The Trip, but I will have to watch it again after a few more Netflixed movies (including Shandy), and see if it might lift this merely funny comedy into something more.

Full Review | Mar 24, 2021

Clever road-trip comedy has swearing, drugs, sex references.

Full Review | Original Score: 4/5 | Apr 3, 2020

97. the trip (2011)

Told through the comedic eyes of Coogan and Brydon, The Trip is deliciously illuminating...and funny.

Full Review | Nov 16, 2019

Viewers feel like a fly on the wall -- or a third seat at the table -- listening to two witty, amusing men intent on one-upping each other.

Full Review | Original Score: 3.5/5 | Jan 8, 2019

A wry, touching and often funny study of friendship and fame. All in all, it's a beautifully judged and original piece of comedy.

Full Review | Jul 18, 2018

Now, in a way, The Trip is terribly up to date. Now, in a way, The Trip is terribly up to date. The Trip harks back to when movies, still not far removed from vaudeville, showcased stars who were able to do acts...

The Trip will undoubtedly stand out as one of the best of the year.

97. the trip (2011)

Now knitted into a feature-length movie, the relationship between [Rob] Brydon and [Steve] Coogan-mostly just bickering-reveals itself with an easy, deft grace.

97. the trip (2011)

...a foodie movie and a travelogue that happens to be hosted by two amusing buffoons.

Full Review | Original Score: 3.5/4 | Aug 8, 2017

The illusion of spontaneous interplay between Coogan and Brydon is faultless; the progression of the tour seems to happen on its own, as if Winterbottom's camera were just riding along.

Full Review | Jul 18, 2016

"The Trip" just seems forced without ever reaching the sort of cathartic climax it approximates.

Full Review | Oct 7, 2015

Line for line, insult for insult, The Trip is the year's most addictively quotable movie.

Droll, improvising, overlong but awfully funny.

97. the trip (2011)

Bleakly rolling moors and stiff-chinned restaurants bring a chilly tone to this austere, investigative, self-reflexive, and yet somehow rollicking comedy...

Full Review | Original Score: 8/10 | Nov 17, 2011

Not big on plot or story so there are slow patches, but the interaction of Brydon and Coogan makes this more worthwhile, if less informative, than any number of food-travel shows.

Full Review | Original Score: 3/5 | Nov 2, 2011

97. the trip (2011)

I expected 'The Trip' to be funny, but I didn't expect it to be one of the year's most beautiful films, thanks to cinematographer Ben Smithard's stunning landscape shots -- it's like the 'Days of Heaven' of Brit impressionist movies

Full Review | Original Score: 3.5/4 | Sep 16, 2011

97. the trip (2011)

A funny and intelligent buddy movie about two men with similar talents but different personalities, traipsing across fog-shrouded northern England on a wild-goose chase.

The Trip (2011)

Poster for The Trip (2011)

Michael Winterbottom ( A Cock and Bull Story , 24 Hour Party People ) directs brilliant British comedians Steve Coogan ( I'm Alan Partridge ) and Rob Brydon ( Gavin & Stacey ) playing fictionalised versions of themselves on a road trip around the UK, ostensibly working as restaurant critics.

Coogan is asked by The Observer newspaper to tour England's finest restaurants. But when his girlfriend pulls out, his perfect holiday falls through and he asks his friend and source of eternal aggravation, Brydon, to join him. Dining their way around the English countryside, they drive each other up the wall with their incessant competitiveness, bad moods and personal crisis.

The film was put together using footage from their BAFTA winning TV series of the same name.

The Trip (2011) | Ratings & Reviews

Rotten tomatoes® rating, audience score rating.

"The Trip is about 20 minutes too long, but the other 90 are among the funniest in recent memory."

Variety

"This is a great deal more entertaining than it sounds, in large part because the two actors are gifted mimics - Brydon the better one, although Coogan doesn't think so."

Roger Ebert

"Coogan and Brydon are either quite brilliant at this or just serving up slight variations of their very witty selves. Either way, their travels and squabbles are great fun to watch, the countryside is bucolic, the food mouthwatering. You just wouldn't want to go on a real road trip with them."

Los Angeles Times

"The project suffers badly from being largely improvised as the pair fall back on familiar impressions and old jokes. Lazy and indulgent, it smacks of being what the British call a "jolly," that is a freebie with no obligation to turn in work afterward."

Hollywood Reporter

"Make no mistake: The Trip is a fine, funny movie. But there's no reason why it couldn't have been even finer and funnier."

The Trip (2011)

Playing loose versions of themselves, Steve Coogan and Rob Brydon reprise their hilariously fictionalized roles from Tristam Shandy: A Cock and Bull Story and reunite with acclaimed director Michael Winterbottom (24 Hour Party People) for an acerbically witty, largely improvised ride through the English countryside. Tapped by The Observer to review fine restaurants throughout the Lake District and Yorkshire Dales, Steve (Coogan) finds himself without a traveling companion after his girlfriend decides not to go at the last minute. After being turned down by everyone else he knows, Steve extends an invitation to Rob (Brydon), and together the pair attempt to navigate the winding back roads of rural England, impersonating popular celebrities such as Michael Caine, Woody Allen and Liam Neeson (among many others) and bickering along the way. Over the course of six different meals at six different restaurants, the ultimate odd couple tests the limits of their friendship, questioning what is most important to them and along the way discover the limits of what they are and are not willing to give up for fame.

  • Trivia There is no credited writer. Majority of the film is improvised.

Rob : You could have a costume drama here, couldn't you?

Steve : I would love-I'd absolutely-I'd just love to do a costume drama in these hills, leaping, vaulting over dry stone walls with a scabbard, with that dead look in my eyes, 'cause I've seen so many horrors that I'm sort of immune to them, and I'd say something like, "Gentlemen, to bed! Gentlemen, to bed, for we leave at first light. Tomorrow we battle, and we may lose our lives. But remember: death is but a moment. Cowardice is a lifetime affliction."

Rob : Nice.

Steve : To bed, for we rise at daybreak!

Rob : Very good. Very impressive.

Steve : But they always, they always leave at daybreak. They never leave at, you know, nine-thirty. "Gentlemen to bed, for we leave at nine-thirty!"

Steve : Ish. "Gentlemen to bed, for we rise at... What time is the battle? About, oh, twelve o'clock? Twelve o'clock. How is it on horseback, about three hours? So we leave about eight, eight-thirty?"

Rob : Eight-thirty for nine.

Steve : "Gentlemen, to bed! For we leave at eight-thirty for nine. And we rise at just after daybreak. Seven-thirty, so just after daybreak. Gentlemen to bed, for we leave at nine-thirty on the dot. On the dot."

Rob : Do you want to have a run, sire, in the morning? Just to loosen up, sire.

Steve : Yes.

Rob : Another thing they never say is, "Right! Well! We'd better make a move. I want to get back in daylight. We'd better make a move."

Steve : To bed! Tomorrow we ride! We leave at ten-ish.
