Trivia

Steve Coogan and Rob Brydon talk about the song "The Windmills of Your Mind" by Noel Harrison and it is played at the film's ending. A different version of this song by The King's Singers was played at the end of the final episode of I'm Alan Partridge (1997), where Alan goes to see the unsold copies of his autobiography being pulped.

User Reviews

Two guys who think they are much funnier than they are, banter way too long

This movie was one I couldn't wait to end. I found this movie very nearly unbearable, but I stuck it out till the end. I thought, it would drive me absolutely nuts if I had to go on a trip with either of them. What a waste of money. Next time I'll run when I see their names. The constant one-upmanship joking and and wise guying back and forth was extremely noisy and exhausting, and you never see the real Spain, it is all about the supposedly witty banter. How freaking boring!
