The Trip (2011)

Playing loose versions of themselves, Steve Coogan and Rob Brydon reprise their hilariously fictionalized roles from Tristam Shandy: A Cock and Bull Story and reunite with acclaimed director Michael Winterbottom (24 Hour Party People) for an acerbically witty, largely improvised ride through the English countryside. Tapped by The Observer to review fine restaurants throughout the Lake District and Yorkshire Dales, Steve (Coogan) finds himself without a traveling companion after his girlfriend decides not to go at the last minute. After being turned down by everyone else he knows, Steve extends an invitation to Rob (Brydon), and together the pair attempt to navigate the winding back roads of rural England, impersonating popular celebrities such as Michael Caine, Woody Allen and Liam Neeson (among many others) and bickering along the way. Over the course of six different meals at six different restaurants, the ultimate odd couple tests the limits of their friendship, questioning what is most important to them and along the way discover the limits of what they are and are not willing to give up for fame.

Parents Need to Know

Parents need to know that The Trip is a hilarious feature-length movie made from a British six-part comedy-drama TV series about two friends who travel around northern England reviewing restaurants. Directed by Michael Winterbottom , it has the two lead characters, Steve Coogan and Rob Brydon , improvising passive-aggressive fictional versions of themselves. The two are continually locked in a battle of one-upmanship as they try to outdo each other with impersonations and argue about their careers and behavior. Coogan's character is an insecure, jealous womanizer, who smokes a joint during the movie and has sex with multiple women -- although this is suggested rather than seen. A female companion of Coogan's takes cocaine, and it's assumed he does, too. Brydon is more likable, portrayed as a family man, albeit with a big, but fragile, ego. Much of the jokes and impersonations feature strong language, including "c--t" and variants of "f--k." There is a "joke" about Coogan having been an alter boy and whether he was abused or not. The restaurant scenes also involve drinking alcohol, and there is some cigarette smoking. The Trip is the first in a series of movies.

What's the Story?

In THE TRIP, a fictionalized version of the actor Steve Coogan is sent by a newspaper on a week-long tour of high-end restaurants in the north of England. When his girlfriend drops out, he asks his friend, Rob Brydon , to go with him. But as the pair spend more time together, their egos clash.

Is It Any Good?

This comedy-drama is a deceptively deep and downbeat character study. Originally aired in the U.K. as a six-part TV series, The Trip is best known for the YouTube clips of Steve Coogan and Rob Brydon battling over dinner to see who can do the best celebrity impersonations. But there's far more to this feature-length movie than who does the best Michael Caine . Coogan and Brydon have both done excellent work with director Michael Winterbottom before ( 24 Hour Party People , A Cock and Bull Story ) and here, between the bombast of the impersonations, the director draws out of them superb performances portraying actors desperately driven by ego.

Based on real-life tabloid reports of his life, Coogan's character comes out worst: a self-centered, jealous womanizer for whom nothing appears to be enough. The movie's masterstroke is how this character is relatively loathsome but still carries pathos. Set against the beautifully shot but bleak landscape of northern England, it has an undercurrent of melancholia that makes the end of the week-long trip feel almost a relief. But the journey is entirely worth it to see such subtle but pitch-perfect performances that linger long after the movie ends.

Talk to Your Kids About ...

Families can talk about the amount of strong language in The Trip . Was it necessary to the story? Who do you think the movie's intended audience is? How can you tell?

Discuss the movie's attitude toward sex . Do characters seem more interested in casual sex or in establishing deeper connections?

How are smoking, drinking, and drugs portrayed in the movie? Do you think substance use is glamorized or shown in a positive light? Are there realistic consequences? Why does that matter?

Talk about Coogan and Brydon's relationship. Would you call them friends? What do you think was the cause of some of their clashes? What makes a good friendship?

What do you think makes a world-class restaurant?

Taylor Swift Net Worth: Is She a Billionaire in 2024?

By Vansh Mehra

Swifties wish to know about Taylor Swift ’s net worth . Is she a billionaire, and has she been mentioned on Forbes’ list of billionaires in 2024? Here’s all you need to know.

What is Taylor Swift’s net worth in 2024?

Taylor Swift’s reported net worth in 2024 is $1.1 billion .

She officially became a billionaire in October 2023, and a huge credit goes to her earnings from The Eras Tour. Profits from the tour elevated her to the billionaire status. Another added surplus came from The Eras Tour movie’s theatrical release.

As per Forbes , she is worth $1.125 billion as of April 3, 2024. Her massive fortune includes a music catalog that’s worth $500 million. Her wealth from real estate stands at $125 million, and it is estimated that she added $500 million from her tours and royalties.

Is Taylor Swift on Forbes’ Billionaires 2024 list?

Taylor Swift stands at #2547 on the worldwide rankings of Forbes’ Billionaires list.

In 2023, Forbes named her at #5 on its World’s Most Powerful Women list. But when it comes to her wealth, she stands at number 2547 on the list of the world’s richest individuals. However, her rank is bound to get better as she will continue The Eras Tour throughout 2024 and will be starting its Europe leg in May.

Before that, she will also be launching The Tortured Poets Department album on April 19, 2024. She recently promised more great things to come in the future while accepting her ‘ Artist of the Year ’ award at the iHeartRadio Music Awards 2024.

Time will tell how her wealth expands throughout the year, and where she would stand in Forbes’ Billionaire rankings about a year from now.

For more updates, learn whether Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire has a post-credits scene .
