siderite If you liked The Trip, you will like this one, as it is basically the same movie. The same people, the same jokes, the same outdoors and food shots. The only thing that changed is that instead of 44, they are now closer to 50. Their hair is more gray and less. How they relate to the world has changed, children grew up. And, of course, they're in Italy.To me, one of the failings of the film is that it doesn't really portray the places so well. I understand it's a character piece, but by limiting the surroundings, they also make the movie feel more like a play, diminished in scope, if not in meaning.Still, if you watched The Trip and wanted more, watch this, too.
Johnny Soory Aseel As if The Trip in 2010 was not bad enough, they have done another trip?!! Consider this a review for both the 2010 and 2014 because they are exactly the same movie, with just a different country.First of all, there is no dialogue or script. They just say whatever comes to their minds, regardless of how relevant it is to the conversation. It is just two guys who think they are hilariously funny, sitting, eating, driving, and talking nonsense that only they would possibly care for, or maybe they even do not.For some reason they think they can do the best impressions of male actors. The whole movie is just about who can impersonate Michael Caine better.Finally, there is a third movie coming out this year, which I am assuming is exactly the same, but in a new country. So, consider this a review of that as well because I do not think they would do anything new except throwing in some Spanish words every now and then.Boring, boring, booooooooring.
WilliamCKH I was hesitant taking another trip w/ Steve and Rob in that I so much loved the first film and thought this film might be a letdown and was never going to expectations set by the first film. No need for worries, this film was just as good, just as funny and better still, both Steve and Rob have remained (aside from Coogan's haircut) them old selves, changing little from when we left them in Northern England, a perfect mixture of affability and arrogance, quick witted, sometimes to the point of absurdity, sprinkled with a tinge of melancholy. If you love British humour, travel & beautiful scenery, fine food, movies, literature and poetry, and beautiful women......(pretty much all things worth living for)... than this is the movie to watch.Steve: (looking at a beautiful hotel receptionist walking past) She's has a lovely gait.Rob: Yes, probably padlocked.Hilarious!
Brent Brent I can honestly say that this was probably the worst movie I have ever seen. I cannot believe this got 7 out of 10 stars. I absolutely and utterly cannot believe it! Seriously, I am a bit OCD about not watching a movie all the way through even if it is bad ... And I shut this off 40 minutes in. This is maybe the 4th time ever I had to shut off a movie before the end because it was so bad.The utter pretentiousness of this complete vanity project is mind blowing. Basically, this is an hour and a half of improvisation which features two guys doing stale impressions over and over and being snarky while arguing over the radio station in a car. So, so, so pretentious.Forget the fact that after 5 minutes, I wanted to lunch each of these guys in the face. After 20 minutes I wanted to punch myself in the face ffor selecting this to stream. My best analogy would be if you were in a small restaurant where the tables were very close ... Imagine the two guys you would not want to sit next to you and hear their conversation ... Those are the two guys from this movie.It's a cross between a bad reality show and a bad stand up routine. Jerry Seinfeld pulls this format off in his series Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee. But Jerry was smart enough to figure out that this only works in 5-10 minute clips. You get an hour and a half of it in this movie! It's just so utterly bad. The baffling thing is that this is a sequel! How?Again, the fact this got 7 stars is one of the strangest mysteries I have ever encountered. I'd seriously rather binge watch episodes of the The Kardashians than listen to these snarky guys go in and out of weak impressions over and over while talking about nonsense. In summary, this is one of the worst 'movies' I have ever watched.
