Foodie movie ticket giveaway: The Trip

Two friends, one week, six restaurants, and the journey of a lifetime. It probably sounds like an awesome trip to most of us, but you can trust the English to make something funny of it - restaurant critiques, celebrity impersonations and pure English comedy.

With the Sydney Film Festival wrapping up just last week, and having caught both El Bulli: Cooking in Progress and Jiro Dreams of Sushi food documentaries (the former deplorable in comparison to the genuinely heartfelt latter), I'm on a foodie movie roll.

The Trip, starring lookalikes Steve Coogan and Rob Brydon, directed by Michael Winterbottom, is a British comedy about the importance of friendship, fame and great food, according to Madman Entertainment.


About The Trip
When Steve Coogan is commissioned by the food supplement of a Sunday newspaper to review half a dozen restaurants, he decides to mix work with pleasure and plans a trip around the north with his food-loving American girlfriend. But when she decides to leave him and return to the States, Steve is faced with a week of meals for one, not quite the trip he had in mind.

Reluctantly, he calls Rob Brydon, the only person he can think of who will be available. Never one to turn down a free lunch, Rob agrees and together they set off for a culinary adventure.

Over the course of several meals at different restaurants in and around the Lake District, Lancashire and the Yorkshire Dales, the ultimate odd couple find themselves debating the big questions of life over a series of culinary delights.

The Trip opens in select cinemas around Australia on 30 June. See the movie trailer here.
