My Review-

Do not get me wrong this was a good movie, I just thought it would be a little funnier because it was Steve Coogan, I found various scenes funny some more than others, but I guess it just was a little too slow for a comedy. I really liked how when they would eat, the camera would cut too the chefs preparing the food for both of them, and what they were eating. The scenes that were really funny were when they would both do impressions of various famous actors; Michael Caine, Hugh Grant and Sean Connery. This movie did make me very hungry though, with all the amazing food they were trying everywhere they would go. If you're a Steve Coogan fan you will enjoy this, and one thing I also liked about this movie, is that it was a TV show that was edited into a feature movie, which I found very interesting and that is why there wasn't really any writers for the movie also because most of it was improvised.
