THE TRIP, starring Steve Coogan and Rob Brydon, is an intelligent and laugh-out-loud British comedy about the importance of friendship, fame and good food.
When Steve is commissioned by The Observer to review half a dozen restaurants, he decides to plan a trip around the North of England with his food loving American girlfriend. But when she decides to leave him and return to the US, Steve is faced with a week of meals for one. Reluctantly, he calls Rob, the only person left he can think of who will be available on short notice. Rob, never one to turn down a free meal agrees, and together they set off for a culinary adventure.
Over the course of six meals at six different restaurants in and around the Lake District, Lancashire and The Yorkshire Dales, the brilliant comic duo, freestyling with flair, drive each other mad with constant competition and showdowns of competing impressions (including duelling Michael Caines, Sean Connery's and Al Pacino's). The ultimate odd couple realize in the end a rich amount about not only good food, but the nature of relationships and their own lives.
Directed by Michael Winterbottom, THE TRIP builds on the success of previous collaborations with Rob Brydon and Steve Coogan: A COCK AND BULL STORY and 24 HOUR PARTY PEOPLE.
