6th on the list of The 20 Best Movies of 2011 (So Far)
Two British actor/comedians playing versions of themselves travel the beautiful and bleak north England countryside, stopping to eat at various upscale restaurants, but mostly just talking. And talking and talking. And doing impressions of Michael Caine, Woody Allen, and Liam Neeson, as well as British personalities an American audience might not recognize. But mostly just talking, with overlapping affection and competition. Sound like a good idea for a film? It absolutely is. The Trip takes a cue from Seinfeld in that it’s really a film about nothing. But sometimes that’s the best way to get at something, and that is definitely the case here.—Jonah Flicker
