Watch The Trip to Spain For Free

Simply A Masterpiece

I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.

This story has more twists and turns than a second-rate soap opera.

Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

Steve Coogan gets work to write food reviews around Spain for the New York Times. He invites his long-time best friend Rob Brydon. Rob takes one look at his crying toddler and quickly accepts. It's a week of traveling and sarcastic impersonations. Steve's personal life intervenes on the trip.The guys continue their tradition of traveling, and eating, and talking. It's loads of impersonations and plenty of food porn. The Bowie bit is hilarious and it's all like that. This is for fans of the series and anybody who liked the original movie. This is very much the same as before. I do wonder if they should write the other restaurant patrons start objecting to their loud talking. It's kinda funny to see the background actors doing nothing while the pair goes crazy with their impersonations. It may be interesting to have them chuckle or do something.

Trip to Spain has a very unique style and screenplay. It has almost no action and it can really test the patience of those that expect something to happen, but the thing is that 90% of the movie is based on descriptions, mostly of meals and cinema conversation. There are a lot of very specific jokes and that only people that follow cinema can understand. Nevertheless it has an interesting plot and actually i was pretty satisfied by the end of the movie. It's a 7

If you need action and major special effects to enjoy a film, this will be your cup of tea. But I was excited to see another Coogan-Brydon venture come out and couldn't wait to watch it on Netflix. Like the Crosby-Hope road movies of old, "The Trip to Spain" repeats basically the same formula as its predecessors. Here, there are new impersonations added to the repertoire displayed in the past (David Bowie, John Hurt, Roger Moore), and a cliffhanger ending. It's not for everyone, but fans of Coogan and Brydon, especially those of us in the US who don't get to see most of their TV work, will enjoy it. One bonus for me was learning that Kyle Soller of the new Poldark is an American.

A couple of self absorbed obnoxious tourists annoy and bore you to death. They are completely taking over their locations with their boisterous shouting and impressions. What irked me the most is the stereotype they play up at the end of the movie... did you guys really need to go there? Appalling and tedious. This could actually be a good movie if it was meant to display how not to behave in public.
