The Trip to Italy Storyline

As Rob was the one who largely wrote their Northern England restaurant piece, the Observer asks him if he and Steve would do another restaurant tour piece for them, this time in Italy. What they decide is a week long trip north to south along the western coast ending in Sicily. Much like last time, they are joined by a wide array of celebrities in the form of their impersonations, from Michael Caine to Al Pacino to Hugh Grant, but also the spirit of Percy Bysshe Shelley and Lord Byron as they touch on those places in the country associated with these two British writers of the Romantic period. Beyond the nature of the food, what ends up being the other primary difference between this trip and the Northern England trip is the role reversal between the two travelers, Steve who seems more grounded than he was last time, and Rob who seems the restless one this time. This reversal is partly due to what happened the last trip, and what has happened in their lives in the intervening time, but also unplanned experiences they have along the way on this trip providing certain opportunities, for Rob a potential part in an American movie and something that happens leading out of a sailing trip early in the week, and for Steve how he reacts to two people that unexpectedly join them for part of the trip, the second which results in a slight change of direction in the latter part of the week.

The Trip to Italy Movie Reviews

Hill-larious

I was hesitant taking another trip w/ Steve and Rob in that I so much loved the first film and thought this film might be a letdown and was never going to expectations set by the first film. No need for worries, this film was just as good, just as funny and better still, both Steve and Rob have remained (aside from Coogan’s haircut) them old selves, changing little from when we left them in Northern England, a perfect mixture of affability and arrogance, quick witted, sometimes to the point of absurdity, sprinkled with a tinge of melancholy.

If you love British humour, travel & beautiful scenery, fine food, movies, literature and poetry, and beautiful women……(pretty much all things worth living for)… than this is the movie to watch.

Steve: (looking at a beautiful hotel receptionist walking past) She’s has a lovely gait.

Rob: Yes, probably padlocked.

Hilarious!

Lost a bit of the easy charm

Rob Brydon invites Steve Coogan on another food tour commissioned by The Observer. Steve is on hiatus from his American show and decides to go along with the Italian trip. Steve is off alcohol. They discuss the lives and work of Shelley and Byron. The married Rob has a fling with British ex-pat Lucy (Rosie Fellner). They eat a lot of pasta and sing along to Alanis Morissette. They do a lot of impressions both good and bad, all comical. Rob has an audition for a minor role in an American movie. They are joined by Steve’s assistant Emma (Claire Keelan) and later on, his son.

I liked the first movie ‘The Trip’. I’m not familiar with Brydon and I only know Coogan from his movies. In the first movie, there are obvious moments of a written story but it’s the charm of an easy friendship that is truly compelling. It’s not real but I get a sense that it could be a version of reality. This one starts in a similar space with impressions of Michael Caine. Coogan is a little sour but ragging on Tom Hardy as Bane seems to help. The movie goes a bit wonky when Rob starts flirting with Lucy. The moment he cheats on his wife and little girl is when the movie struggled for me. The easy charm of the original becomes a highly fictionalize drama. The problem is that there isn’t enough drama for it to be compelling. There is a difference between two friends hanging out and two fictional characters hanging out. I prefer the fictional characters to do something.

Funny and frequently touching ball-busting between blokes on a lark for seconds.

THE TRIP TO ITALY (2014) *** Filmmaker Michael Winterbottom reteams with comedy duo Steve Coogan and Rob Brydon in this sequel to the popular road trip flick this time in gloriously picturesque Italy frequenting the nation’s cafes, restaurants and amazing food-porn while bickering, bantering and imitating the likes of Michael Caine and Hugh Grant unerringly with brio. While it feels like more of the same, the DynamicDuo manage to make the most of the week-long travelogue and navel gazing with brash wit in spite of some tacked on plot devices (a fictional son for the uppity Coogan and an unlikely assignation for the amiable Brydon). Funny and frequently touching ball-busting between blokes on a lark for seconds.
