Steve Coogan and Rob Brydon’s The Trip (2011) was a unique comic masterpiece. This sequel, The Trip to Italy, is a long, tiresome, and mostly unfunny film that tarnishes your memory of the first film. It has none of the spontaneity or the lovely comic balance of the first film, it features too little Steve Coogan and too much Rob Brydon, Italy is not filmed very well, and the food scenes are done rather poorly. It’s 108 minutes, but feels like two and a half hours.

Any lover of The Trip should avoid The Trip To Italy like the plague.
