#1 | The Trip (2011) ★★★☆☆

A six-part series that has been cut into a film, The Trip follows Steve Coogan and Rob Brydon — playing highly fictionalized versions of themselves — as they eat, drink and bicker their way across Northern England’s countrysides. Their improvised impression battles are an absolute joy to watch(the slew of Michael Caine impressions are especially hilarious), though they do get a little repetitive. The film does drag at times, but it never bores. Perhaps The Trip would be more enjoyable in it’s original uncut format. As it is, this is a sweet and insightful film that fans of British humor will enjoy.
