The Trip, with Steve Coogan and Rob Brydon playing themselves -- two middle-aged long-time friends alternately cracking up and annoying one another during an endless-seeming road trip -- is really fucking funny, and a worthy update of My Dinner With Andre, with a lighter touch. Of course, it probably helps to see the movie under the same circumstances as I did (see above: “two middle-aged” etc.)…but here’s a bit of it:
It can’t be coincidence that the two movies to have the lengthiest first-run this year, Insidious and Bridesmaids, both feature Rose Byrne.
She was also in Troy, with Brad Pitt, and I remain dumbfounded she wasn’t cast as Helen.

I think Leslie Mann is this generation’s Gene Wilder.

Form the few clips of The Trip I watched on YouTube, it looks like an Entertainment Tonight version of My Dinner With Andre.
