Trivia

Steve Coogan and Rob Brydon talk about the song "The Windmills of Your Mind" sung 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 Coogan's TV show, I'm Alan Partridge: Alan Wide Shut (2002), where Alan goes to see the unsold copies of his autobiography being pulped.

Goofs

Steve says while at lunch that a version of 12 Years a Slave was made by HBO "about ten years ago". No such version exists but PBS did make a version in 1984 entitled Solomon Northup's Odyssey.

User Reviews

the trip continues

Steve Coogan gets work to write food reviews around Spain for the New York Times. He invites his long-time best friend Rob Brydon. Rob takes one look at his crying toddler and quickly accepts. It's a week of traveling and sarcastic impersonations. Steve's personal life intervenes on the trip.

The guys continue their tradition of traveling, and eating, and talking. It's loads of impersonations and plenty of food porn. The Bowie bit is hilarious and it's all like that. This is for fans of the series and anybody who liked the original movie. This is very much the same as before. I do wonder if they should write the other restaurant patrons start objecting to their loud talking. It's kinda funny to see the background actors doing nothing while the pair goes crazy with their impersonations. It may be interesting to have them chuckle or do something.
