Plot
Two comedians tour the restaurants of the north of England and compete at impressions and one-upmanship.
Sinekatalog’s take
Michael Winterbottom's improvised road comedy has Steve Coogan and Rob Brydon trading impressions over fine meals. Funny, rueful and surprisingly poignant, it mixes rivalry and middle-aged melancholy.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
