What to Know

Critics Consensus

Amiable, funny and sometimes insightful, The Trip works as both a showcase for the enduring chemistry between stars Steve Coogan and Rob Brydon and an unexpected perusal of men entering mid-life crises.

Kimberley Jones Austin Chronicle Terrific stuff. Rated: 4/5 Jul 15, 2011 Full Review Tom Long Detroit News The Trip is a comedy about two guys going to fancy restaurants in the English countryside. Sounds hilarious, huh? Well, it actually is. Rated: B+ Jul 8, 2011 Full Review Jim Schembri The Age (Australia) Fuelled by some inspired and very funny improvisations - their duelling Michael Caine impersonations are a scream - the film gradually settles into a meditation on mid-life malaise. Rated: 3/5 Jul 4, 2011 Full Review Brian Eggert Deep Focus Review 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. Rated: 3.5/4 Mar 11, 2023 Full Review Jack Fleischer Battleship Pretension 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. Mar 24, 2021 Full Review Tom Cassidy Common Sense Media Clever road-trip comedy has swearing, drugs, sex references. Rated: 4/5 Apr 3, 2020 Full Review Read all reviews

Eithan D just mediocre, couldn't finish watching it Rated 2 out of 5 stars 03/24/23 Full Review luizzz a BORING. I waited the whole movie to laugh and never happened. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member So entertaining! I want more. Love the chats over meals Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/21/20 Full Review William L An infectious chemistry between Coogan and Brydon births some fantastic comedy; the timing pairs brilliantly with improv flavored dry humor, even if the film struggles at point to break through the episodic structure of the original series in establishing a consistent flow. (4/5) Rated 4 out of 5 stars 08/12/20 Full Review Audience Member Slow, tedious, and pointless. Anyone else in the backseat of the car on this road trip would have unceremoniously removed their brains from their head Pulp Fiction style. You know that guy who never stops doing annoying impressions. The person everyone wants to hit in the face with a shovel? Boost his level of annoying to 11 and then multiply him by two. Now sit through 3 meals a day with them over the course of a week. That's "The Trip" in a nutshell. I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy. Rating: F Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Audience Member Boring artsy movie that has Steve coogan. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/19/23 Full Review Read all reviews
