source: The Trip to Greece

The Trip to Greece has several stunning off the beaten path locales and avoids touristy spots even if important - such as the Acropolis. In addition this film is also quite entertaining. It's well worth a watch.

The chemistry between these two is superb. I found myself laughing out loud frequently. They just seem so relaxed in each others company. You get the impression that you are right there alongside them on their journey. I thoroughly enjoyed the movie. Looking forward to the next one.

"The Trip To Greece" completes an intriguing, delicious and hilarious series of films wearing its heart on its sleeve. . In this comedy, Rob Brydon and Steve Coogan travel from Troy to Ithaca following in the footsteps of the Odysseus in this final film of the series. . Steve Coogan and Rob Brydon are a pair of excellent leads really playing off each other; you can't help but be in good company while watching them. The food is mouth-watering, the scenery is beautiful and the gags never get old. If you haven't seen this series of British films now is the time. I absolutely loved it. .

Only when this nonsense comes to an end you realise that you shouldn't have been so stupid eating the bait "beautiful Greece" and watch it. Two buffoons in a Land-Rover mostly, mumbling pompously and unintelligibly, wander aimlessly pretending arrogant sophistication, degrading historical places and the people who had the misfortune to serve them. Pathetic. Stay away. P.S Worst moment: In the end, one of them even "sells" his own father's death on film. How low can they go?...

With their sophomoric annoying banter continuing without a stop, they never took time to appreciate any of the amazing food or gorgeous views.. You didn't always know where they were, nor what they were eating. There was never a hint of Greek culture, Greek people, nor a note of Greek music. They might as well have stayed home and continued their adolescent conversations without going to all the trouble of traveling.

If you've paid a tenner for this on Amazon and moaned or complained you're an idiot, this is as good as any of the series previously, I'd pay just for the scenery and journey alone, Rob and Steve work amazingly well together and I've thoroughly enjoyed binging on this during Covid19

This was simply a selfie of two irritating and unlikable individuals. I don't remember such horrible thoughts about the previous adventures. Granted you should not have high hopes for these buffoons that value themselves above their talent level. Watch the trailer that is the best. I assume the death of the father is actual and that is sad and my condolences to the e family. But, why put this into the movie to the degree it did and why spend time and money filming a couple on the beach. This is not entertainment, education or more of a selfie mentality. To me this fourth installment of a middling series that really let the viewers down. I am not going to go through the failures of this insipid movie. Watch something else. If you do watch the speaking tooth was interesting. I wonder if was edited for effect. I can make my wife sound like God on programs like audacity but she really projects like Minnie Mouse. Restaurant reviews? These are restaurant reviews - really.. Travelogue? I think not Look at me - of course that is all they wanted. Nice aerial visuals - yes Looks like a 12 minute short to me.

Greetings again from the darkness. Now is either the absolute best time to release this movie, or it's the worst. During a pandemic with directives to stay home, you would be excused for classifying a cinematic travel trip by funny buddies as either a harsh prank or a welcome fantasy. Director Michael Winterbottom is back for his fourth film in the franchise featuring wise-cracking pals Steve Coogan and Rob Brydon. The first three were: THE TRIP (2010), THE TRIP TO ITALY (2014), and THE TRIP TO SPAIN (2017), and each were edited into feature films from their respective BBC Television series. The players remain the same, as does the formula. Only the location provides a change-up. Beginning in Turkey near the historical site of Troy, complete with the photo op at the Trojan Horse monument, Coogan and Brydon are on a 6 day assignment to cover (mostly) the 10 year journey of Odysseus in Homer's "The Odyssey." The symmetry is noted in the film as this marks the tenth year since they first began traveling together. The men make their way to Stagira (now Macedonia), the birthplace of Aristotle, as well as Hydra, Athens, Delphi, and Ithaca. Of course, at each destination, the boys stop for a ridiculously upscale gourmet meal at a world class restaurant that features a breathtaking view. It's during these savory meals, and in the car during the trip, and well, just about any other time, Coogan and Brydon continue their never-ending game of one-upsmanship. Impersonations, punchlines, and spirited verbal sparring are all done with the hope of making the other person laugh, or admit defeat. While the Michael Caine impersonation never makes an appearance, we do get dueling Mick Jaggers and Dustin Hoffmans, as well as moments for Werner Herzog, Ray Winstone, and Barry Gibb/Bee Gees (with "Grease" and "Staying Alive"). Stunning scenery and historic locations provide ammo for some of the banter between the two comics, including whether Alexander the Great was an original gangster. However, there is also an underlying message here. The two argue over who should wear the respective masks of comedy and tragedy while they are on the hallowed grounds of an ancient Greek Theatre, and Coogan makes the point that "Originality is overrated. Everything is derivative." This commentary applies not just to their own "Trip" franchise, but also to many other elements of society. Perhaps there are a few too many aerial shots of their Range Rover traveling down a road, but the back country is so beautiful, we can't complain. The same goes for those restaurants. Sure it's torture to watch as they enjoy delicious food, but the scenery is unique to their locale. As we wonder when, or even if, we will ever be able to travel the globe again, perhaps the best lesson here is to value our time with friends and loved ones. A personal crisis is used for this series finale, though it also leaves us with the proclamation that that these trips have been "Mostly fun and games." So, "already enjoy."
