Well Deserved Praise

everything you have heard about this movie is true.

One of the best movies of the year! Incredible from the beginning to the end.

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

Trip to Spain has a very unique style and screenplay. It has almost no action and it can really test the patience of those that expect something to happen, but the thing is that 90% of the movie is based on descriptions, mostly of meals and cinema conversation. There are a lot of very specific jokes and that only people that follow cinema can understand. Nevertheless it has an interesting plot and actually i was pretty satisfied by the end of the movie. It's a 7

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.

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.

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.
