Critics Consensus

The Trip to Spain offers more of the same scenery, food, and conversation that filled Steve Coogan and Rob Brydon's first two Trips -- which is to say, more of a good thing.

Andrew Billen

Times (UK)

Under the direction of Michael Winterbottom and the exquisite cinematography of James Clarke, a sense of place is not something The Trip lacks. It is just as impressive, however, that this mixture of inspired improvisation and deliberate writing.

Rated: 4/5

Coogan and Brydon ... begin to grate, and come off as obnoxious, both to themselves and to the patrons around them, who hopefully got comped for their meals.

Austin Chronicle

All apologies to Hope and Crosby, but [Steve] Coogan and [Rob] Brydon are now the kings of the 'Road to' movie.

Rated: 3.5/5

Deep Focus Review

If they were just food and laughter, they might be gratifying, entertaining escapes. But Winterbottom, Coogan, and Brydon turn them into a melancholic exploration of humor, comedy as art, cuisine, history, scenery, and Coogan's questions of Self.

Rated: 3.5/4

...because it's Coogan and Brydon, who are genuinely funny and charming, makes The Trip to Spain one of the funniest movies I've seen in years.

Third Coast Review

The core joy of the series remains intact... I need these films and their creators like I need oxygen, and if you've been keeping up, then you probably feel the same.

Boring. The two come off as fairly egotistical. When they dine with others no one else can get a word in. It makes the conversation boring.

Didn't really enjoy this one as it seemed like kind of a dull road trip, but the food portion was about the only enjoyable part.

Not as strong as the previous two movies. It's still a solid effort that does and should rely on the genuine warmth these two actors have for each other.

Serviceable, but largely more of the same as the previous two entries; plenty of film references and jokes about aging. The film does strike a better balance between the comedy and the "serious" elements (which are more overt than previously observed) than the second film, but doesn't match the nuance of the original, which allowed its themes to be explored through less overt means. Some solid callbacks do compensate slightly, but the series does feel rather formulaic after a while. (3.5/5)

Rather too much self indulgent messing around (including way too many impersonations). Would be better if they had discussed more important things over dinners - in fact once Emma joins them the film becomes a lot more interesting for people who wish to watch a travelogue and learn about the history of the country!! Was going to watch all 'The Trip' programs but, hate to say it, this has put me off.
