Actor Steve Coogan (Steve Coogan) agrees to write for The Observer newspaper to go on a tour of restaurants in the north of England. He planned to go with gourmet girlfriend Mischa but she left him to work in America. He recruits his happily-married 11 year long actor friend Rob Brydon (Rob Brydon) to join him. Coogan is still chasing skirts and chasing that Hollywood stardom. Emma is Coogan's assistant.
This is a B.S. movie. It's fiction that feels real. The two actors are playing an alt version of themselves and there is a reality to their friendship. It works best when the two faux-characters B.S. each other. The best B.S. are their impersonations and the funniest impersonation is their constant need for Michael Caine. There is an aimlessness to the so-called plot. Like the characters, I also want to go home at some point and the movie is probably a bit too long.
