Leave your thoughts about The Couch Trip.
| Spirituality and PracticeFrederic and Mary Ann BrussatThe Couch Trip is a knee-slapping comedy. |
| The SpectatorHilary MantelThis is a film which sets out to amuse us mildly and take no risks. |
| User ReviewJess MHilarious. All his movie are just great comedy. |
| User ReviewJonathan SThis film is jokes, many great lines and plots and understandable vexation of characters with the compulsive liarl |
| User ReviewIstvan GWalter Matthau is a good comedic partner for Dan Aykroyd to work in tandem with. If you like Aykroyd this is a must see. Aykroyd is a Mental Patient who goes to Hollywood and becomes a Radio host & psychologist. |
| User ReviewScott SI first watched this film on Comedy Central in the late '90s. Dan Aykroyd is an inspiration to me. The Couch Trip is one of the best films I've ever seen since Home Alone. I liked the Couch Trip so much that I bought a DVD of it for myself. I also bought my friend a DVD of that movie, too. I recommend this cult hit movie to you. |
| User Reviewsteve dProbably the best Dan Aykroyd has been other than "Ghostbusters". The radio show scene is one of the funniest ever. |
| User ReviewMark Sa little quirky, but more funny moments than most comedies. |
| User ReviewPhil HAnother top Aykroyd comedy (does he ever make abad one?) alongside Grodin with his usual extreme character portrayal and Walter Matthau in a slightly weaker role than his partners. 88 was a good year for Aykroyd with 'The Great Outdoors' and this, two good films but this one clearly being the best, if not as well known, with Aykroyd in scorching form as a smart ass convict getting himself to a loony bin and then a top flight job as a doctor on the radio. Sounds average but the way in which Aykroyd performs his role is such a joy to watch with his usual quick fire dialog that he can unleash at any given moment as he has shown in many of his films. The whole film is basically an anarchic comedy with the main character being a total fraud, yet a lovable roguish fraud that you just wanna see win :) Much better than so many modern films due to Aykroyd coming across as quite an intelligent person who genuinely knows his stuff instead of just memorising lines, its also nice to see a comedian in film who can make you laugh with his wit and use of knowledge instead of just making stupid faces and acting like a complete moron Mr Carrey. |
| User ReviewGrayson DA great group of comedians makes for a very funny movie. The story is funny too. I highly recommend this fun comedy. |
