The Trip to Italy is a follow-up to 2010’s The Trip. Steve Coogan and Rob Brydon played fictionalized versions of themselves on a trip through the UK’s Lake District to sample cuisine for a series of articles for The London Observer. As the film opens, Brydon calls Coogan back from LA to accompany him for a subsequent series of foodie articles covering six regions of Italy. “You haven’t seen on-screen chemistry until you’ve seen these two compete, constantly busting each other’s balls on fame, fortune, family life, and their own looks….By the time the curtains draw to a bittersweet close, you’ll walk out feeling rejuvenated, satisfied, well replenished in humor and culture, and already planning your own trip to Italy.” – Nikola Grozdanovic, Indiewire.
