681997, The Trip to Italy (Winterbottom, 2014)
Posted by Frank Longo, Wed Aug-13-14 12:23 PM
Before I even start, I should point out that The Trip, this film's predecessor, is one of my favorite comedies of the last few years. So take from that what you will.
I could watch a hundred of these movies. It's literally just two hilarious dudes talking shit to one another and doing impressions while eating delicious meals in scenic locations. THAT'S ALL.
And no joke, I was CRYING with laughter multiple times in this movie.
It's kind of melancholy at times about aging (just like the last one), but God, when these guys start trying to one-up each other, there's very little that's funnier in cineplexes nowadays.
Rob Brydon might just be the funniest motherfucker on the planet. There's one bit he does here, where he busts out his shtick at an inappropriate time, and simply won't stop, and I couldn't catch my breath.
I loved the last one. I loved this one. Go see it when it drops in August.

684132, I did, and I enjoyed it.

Especially as someone who had to read the book in grad school.
However, I prefer these Trip films, if only because they capture such an easygoing pace and tone. So many movies would lose momentum or feel forced in the hands of others-- these guys have the balancing act down pat.

684136, Are they related
Posted by lfresh, Tue Aug-19-14 07:15 PM
They look alike
Also the trip is on netflix and I confused it for this one
Then I got really confused
This explains it
I'll add it back to netflix

684606, Wasn't this a TV show they just chopped up into a movie?

Looks great but I'm wondering if I'd be better off just tracking down the TV show. Same for the first one.
Saw the trailer for Trip to Italy and it looked hilarious. "Where do you stand on Michael Buble?" "His windpipe?"

684609, according to David Denby, yes

I'm happy with seeing just highlights of the show, i.e., the movie.

684613, Yeah. The movie is probably better for non-Brits.

They tend to cut more of the exclusively-British references for the films.
