The Trip to Italy
Not a film, but whatever. It's being released as a film in the US. It's really funny, quite sweet, and just a pleasure to sit back and enjoy. Rob Brydon, as always, is brilliant, and Steve Coogan is the best partner for him. With the beautiful Italian backdrop, I'd say it's better than The Trip in the Lake District.

Re: The Trip to Italy A few years after their popular restaurant tour in the north of England, Steve Coogan and Rob Brydon (once again playing thinly fictionalized versions of themselves) reunite for a culinary adventure through Italy, partly tracing the steps of Romantic poets Byron and Shelley. The Trip to Italy is a modest and rewarding delight on par with or perhaps even a tad superior to the first film. Put another way, it is hard to imagine people who admired and enjoyed the first not also admiring and enjoying this second cinematic-and-gastronomic holiday. Coogan and Brydon are as perfectly matched as ever with their dueling impersonations (of Al Pacino, of Tom Hardy as Bane, and so on and so forth) and their ability to spin even single words, such as cumquat, into minutes of rapid-fire improvisation and quotable one-liners. Returnign behind the camera, ultra-prolific and genre-bending directorial chameleon Michael Winterbottom laces the comic jaunt with a just-right amount of history and melancholy, whether it is the way his camera lingers on the fire-frozen bodies at Pompeii or a conversation shared by the leading men regarding how the way women perceive and respond to them has changed with age.
