One of my first articles here at ScreenCrush was a lengthy and passionate essay about The Trip, the series of films (technically British television shows condensed to films for the American market) about comedians Steve Coogan and Rob Brydon, playing themselves, taking food tours through beautiful European locales.
The Trip to Greece opens in theaters (maybe?) and on VOD on May 22.
Six years later, I see no reason to dispute that — especially now that we’re close to getting the fourth installment in the series, The Trip to Greece.
This time, Coogan and Brydon are retracing Odysseus steps, adding a extra layer of meta fun to the usual celebrity impressions, food porn, and middle-aged angst.
