Giveaway Post - "THE TRIP" Movie Double Passes !

I think you all are probably sick and tired of me apologizing for my lack of post .... so in order to redeem myself and as a peace offering ....how about some double passes to see a movie ?

This giveaway wouldn't have happened if a lovely lady by the name of Hariet from NIXCO hadn't emailed me about the upcoming movie by Madman Entertainment, THE TRIP !

So you are probably thinking....why would a movie/TV/entertainment PR company emailed a food blogger ?
For one obvious reason really, the movie is about going to different restaurants to review them, but along the way they found something else :)

THE TRIP is an intelligent and funny British comedy about the importance of friendships and good food, reuniting comedy favourites Steve Coogan (I'm Alain Partridge) and Rob Brydon (Gavin and Stacey).

When I hear the name of Steve Coogan, the first thing that pops into my head is his role in Night At The Museum as the tiny Octavius (the Roman general) and then followed by his interpretation of Hades (as the rock god !) in Percy Jackson...
.....
Hmm....it has dawn on me that kids movie tends to stick in my head - and how old am I already !?!?!? LOL

I hope THE TRIP will be as fun as his other movies :)

A little blurb on the movie (without spoiling the good stuffs) :
When Steve Coogan is commissioned by the food supplement of a Sunday newspaper to review half a dozen restaurants, he decides to mix work with pleasure and plans a trip around the north with his food-loving American girlfriend. 
But when she decides to leave him and return to the States, Steve is faced with a week of meals for one, not quite the trip he had in mind.  Reluctantly, he calls Rob Brydon, the only person he can think of who will be available. Never one to turn down a free lunch, Rob agrees and together they set off for a culinary adventure.
Over the course of several meals at different restaurants in and around the Lake District, Lancashire and the Yorkshire Dales, the ultimate odd couple find themselves debating the big questions of live over a series of culinary delights

THE TRIP is directed by Michael Winterbottom and builds on the success of previous collaborations between the much loved UK comedians Brydon and Coogan of A Cock And Bull Story and 24 Hour Party People

  3. Hey

    I moved from the UK three years ago, and one of my friends only called the other day to say how fantastic this movie is. Apparently these two are friends in real life so the banter is very real. Love English humlur and food, so would be the perfect movie choice.
