ThiefHott Too much of everything

Matialth Good concept, poorly executed.

ShangLuda Admirable film.

Cristal The movie really just wants to entertain people.

piedl 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.

diver-159-400352 It was the best of them, it was the worst of them. The Trip was great and the follow up too, but this is just much much more of the same without the charm of the earlier 2 series. Im not sure if it is the film format that makes it annoying, but Coogan and Brydon just really start to grate on you by about the end of the first hour.

charleshowler 40 minutes into the movie, I was incredibly bored. Essentially this film is just two mates having improvised banter over a meal. It's more of a documentary travel/food TV show painfully stretched out to a feature film length.It was, the best way to put it; 'lame'. It did show a bit of promise in the beginning but failed to meet any kind of standards. Sure, the banter brought some smiles, but none of it was really clever or witty. It really was just two friends talking. I feel like this movie is the kind of video you make among friends and show it to only friends, and your friends would be the only ones laughing. No one outside that circle of friends.Wouldn't recommend this.

jdesando "Never go on trips with anyone you do not love." Ernest Hemingway Steve Coogan and Rob Brydon have done this drill before from reviewing restaurants in the UK, Italy, and now Spain in The Trip to Spain. As always the two for the road, buddy adventure is more entertaining than the meals, though the meals play even less of a role in this iteration.The two incomparable improvisers, guided for the third time by director Michael Winterbottom, travel by Range Rover to some of Spain's finest restaurants, with mouth-watering tapas casually served while they serve you personal barbs and impersonations so spot on you could close your eyes and swear the original was having dinner.Especially notable are their riffs on James Bond, emphasizing the eccentric voices of Sean Connery and Roger Moore. The sequence involving Moore's Bond and an enemy having dinner together is especially amusing. In any case, both actors are world class imitators culminating in a memorable take on "Tony Hopkins." The road trip has numerous high angle, helicopter and drone shots capturing the rolling Spanish countryside, mountain top restaurants, and Western-like landscapes enjoyable enough but downright fulfilling when accompanied by the wickedly funny banter between the old buddies. They both are not shy about picking on the conceits and foibles of their friend, and both give as well as they can take.For some dramatic heft, Coogan is vulnerable at reaching 50 without a girlfriend or agent, and so distanced from his son as to be painful,. Even writing about his teenage years in Spain can't shake the melancholy. Enter the shot of the two buddies dressed as Quixote and Panza, no better choice to represent Coogan's drifting and Brydon's middle-aged responsibilities.All this is to say that the lives of these two gifted actors and improvisers are not as superficial as the grand food and sights would lead us to believe. And after all, we need to be prepared for the hilarious and provocative last shot.What is it? you ask. Take the trip and find out. It will be one of the best tours of your cinematic life, and you'll run to Netflix to see the other two. I guarantee it."Though we travel the world over to find the beautiful, we must carry it with us or we find it not." Ralph Waldo Emerson
