Review of The Trip

The Trip (I) (2010)
7/10
Middleaged journey
11 August 2011
It has become somewhat of a genre in itself, these films about men in their 40s/50s who have dinner together and summon their lives. Often it's sarcastic and bitter in a funny way. This is no exception.

Two actors tour fancy restaurants in Northern England. There's supposed to be reviews, but most of the time they imitate famous actors in the meanest of ways. And criticize each other's imitations.

They are slightly ridiculous and seem to love it. This is a rather warm movie about middle age crisis, but not a very profound one. But a big plus for the beautiful nature sceneries, which you care much more about than the laughable food these men eat.
