The Trip to Spain (2017)

Thanks for the memories!

I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

The acting is good, and the firecracker script has some excellent ideas.

There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.

In the third installment of the popular series, Steve Coogan & Rob Brydon take their shenanigans to Spain to eat the local cuisine & try to to outdo each other's impersonations ranging from Michael Caine to Sir Ian McKellan. Coasting on the wisp of a story line, this trio of films continues to satisfy the laugh quotient in spite of itself. Let's hope it continues its journey as long as audiences still maintain an interest in this hilarious pair. The Roger Moore/moor bit is one for the books.

Excellent continuation of "The Trip" (in England) and "The Trip to Italy" and at the height of the first, which was undoubtedly the best. Steve Coogan and Rob Brydon make a gastronomic program on TV visiting restaurants that was extended in the cinema and now we are going for the third installment, all directed by that irregular genius that is Winterbottom. If you like British actors and appreciate a good impersonation, this is your film because improvisations based on rivalry between the two comedians, rather than what they eat, is the main course of their meals so that what was initially a gastronomic program has become humorous movies about both talents. I know there are people who don't like these movies very much. They've hooked up with me and now I'm an unconditional fan of both of them. I laugh out loud with their imitations of Michael Caine, Mick Jagger, Robert de Niro, Marlon Brando, Roger Moore or Anthony Hopkins. I can't help myself. Must be my weakness for British humor. As I live in Spain I have to add that the images of the landscapes and the choice of sites is different from the usual tourist guide, which is to be thanked specially for the number of topics that are handled talking about this country. A failure is perhaps how unbelievable the complementary stories are (families, loves, jobs) and I think it would be a good idea to talk more about food, restaurants, flavors, because that's supposed to be the very object of the trip, to do a gastronomic chronicle. It is a pity that they have missed the opportunity to do so in Spain, which is by far the best country I have ever eaten in my entire life.

The movie is about 2 random guys just eating and talking to each other 100% of the time, they try to be funny but fail miserably in doing it. There is one scene where they sit at a table with 2 women they somehow know a bit, guys just talk to each other about something again and make funny faces but women don't get it and just sit there looking bored - that basically sums it up what goes on in the whole movie. After about 30-40 minutes of watching it I gave up, luckily it was for free so no money wasted.

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.
