Leave your thoughts about The Trip to Greece.
| PolygonKaren HanThe pall of death automatically makes The Trip to Greece a more somber affair than its predecessors, but doesn’t make it devoid of fun. |
| Washington PostAnn HornadayCoogan and Brydon might scoff at such sentimentality, but over the course of the Trip films, they’ve shown us that world, at its most aspirationally easeful and epicurean. Even more brilliantly — and affectingly — they’ve constructed a world between them, an airy, reality-adjacent universe conjured in billowing clouds of witticisms, idle observations, passive-aggressive feints and silent, solitary reflections. Did they ever really live there? Maybe not. But it’s been a delightful place to visit. |
| ScreenCrushMatt SingerThe Trip to Greece reminds us that anyone who gets to take a picturesque holiday with good food and friends should savor every last second of it. Because it won’t last forever. And it could all end when you least expect it. |
| Paste MagazineAndrew CrumpIf you, like critics, consider Coogan selfish or asinine, the film will validate that view, but for a purpose, and through the sharpest of organic comedy. |
| Vanity FairRichard LawsonYou can’t taste all the miraculous food the sorry men of The Trip to Greece are served. But you can, at least, relate to the feeling the film evokes. It’s the wonder of new experience giving even further gravity to all that’s come along and happened before—and will, on some dusty day in some impossible future, hopefully happen again. |
| The Associated PressJake CoyleWatching The Trip to Greece at a time when such travel is impossible has only heightened the considerable pleasures of these movies (and made the food all the more appetizing). But mostly it’s reinforced the simple delight of sitting table-side with Coogan and Brydon. For all their trivial sparring, they are exceedingly good company. |
| ConsequenceMatt MelisFortunately, the fourth and final installment of the series, The Trip to Greece, packs plenty of pathos to match its sights and silliness. |
| Boston GlobeMark FeeneyWhat makes Steve and Rob so funny is that they’re so human: petty, insecure, rivalrous, as well as charming and hilarious. Nothing’s more human than sadness, not even laughter, and laughter The Trip to Greece has to offer in plenty. What’s their next destination? Wherever it is, the important thing is that there be one. |
| San Francisco ChronicleMick LaSalleThe Trip to Greece isn’t nonstop hilarity, but if you get into the rhythm of it, it’s laidback and pleasing. It’s an enjoyable trip in good company. |
| Chicago TribuneMichael PhillipsIt’s probably best to call it after this one. But I remain astonished at the rewatchability of these “Trip to” films. |
