This is a real smart movie.. Taking your rhythm and anxiety to a very peaceful zone, restore your serinity.. I admit, it's a bit boring.. But this is the idea.. Sort of relaxation you should surrender to the stream and give up your regular thoughts about love, sex, excitement, show Biz, etc.. Just let the sun shine on your face. I encourage to make it series movies, but don't be so specific in the dialogue to movie biz, make it more rich to suit other people and different occasions.. Maintain the slow rhythm and ambience.. No music is a good idea.. Nature and scenes are suburb and sufficient glamorous.. Great GREAT!! I FOUND MYSELF PAYING FULL ATTENTION DURING THE PLAY..

Two British television stars take a drive through Italy for a magazine article, and one of them gets the chance to have a major role in an American movie about the mob. Presumably this is all fiction, because it did originally seem to be a straight travelogue...until you hear how weird the initial conversation gets. You see fancy meals being prepared and eaten, the pair going to posh hotels, pictures of beautiful scenery, many references to Byron, Shelley, and other writers of that era...and then you realize the locations of the hotels and restaurants in the movie are never identified.There is no real plot to the movie, which has a lot of chatter between the two leads, as well as their (fictional?) families. And much of that involves impersonations of various British actors. Mildly entertaining, but the whole is not greater than the sum of its parts.

Imagine you're stuck on a trip with two guys who WON'T EVER SHUT UP. Even worse, they consider themselves really funny, witty, clever. That's the plot. Nothing more. Just two guys ad libbing for the camera. Steve Coogan is, I guess, a big deal in the UK so evidently a movie with him rambling for a couple hours is British gold - but there's just nothing funny about him.

So Steve Coogan and Rob Brydon ,generally are really funny .. but the movie seems to have missing something ,, there's a leakage !! i don't know maybe the script was a bit off !!! unorganized ... or maybe it was meant to be like this "spontaneous" . the impersonating is okay even though more than half of the characters i have no idea who they were . i supposed it was to be having more comedy and some funny bits but honestly the only two times that i cracked a good laugh in the movie was when they started talking about the Kumquat :D and when Rob was talking to the body in the glass box in Pompeii ... gosh that was Hilarious :D other than that it was just like watching two guys blabbing in the streets of Italy :P i mean if they were speaking Italian i really wouldn't notice any change in the movie.
