I saw the first film, which had a lot of charm and gave me a tour of the lovely English countryside, some views of luscious food, and witty repartee. I was expecting more of the same, but I was disappointed. Outside of some homemade sausageI saw the first film, which had a lot of charm and gave me a tour of the lovely English countryside, some views of luscious food, and witty repartee. I was expecting more of the same, but I was disappointed. Outside of some homemade sausage towards the beginning of the film, there wasn't much emphasis on the actual food. I would have liked some emphasis on the chefs as well, but we mainly got to meet one waitress, who spoke with a thick accent. I did get a few good laughs, but there was more emphasis on drama in contrasting the lives of family man Rob and bachelor Steve, and it didn't work for me. Some of the scenery was interesting, but I can't say that I really got to know either Spanish or Spanish cuisine.… Expand

I love the series, but this one, for the first time, has started to feel a little "samey". Still annoyed by Coogan and love Brydon - as we're supposed to. The food sequences, and the landscapes, are exquisite. I would have loved a little moreI love the series, but this one, for the first time, has started to feel a little "samey".

I would have loved a little more from the supporting women characters - mostly because they're so appealing, as we saw in the Italy film.… Expand

First, they travelled thru the English countryside, then it was Italy. With this film…well, it's obvious. I looked at my review of the 2nd one and it pretty much applies here: Steve Coogan and Rob Brydon reunite for a culinary tour of Italy.First, they travelled thru the English countryside, then it was Italy. With this film…well, it's obvious. I looked at my review of the 2nd one and it pretty much applies here: Steve Coogan and Rob Brydon reunite for a culinary tour of Italy. The majority of the “action” consists of the two comics bantering (in a car or a restaurant) and doing their impressions (the humorous highlights that range from David Bowie to Sean Connery). The scenery is stunning, but the meals get little attention. Of course, it’s really about them, so you like their style, you’ll find yourself amused. (This one's ending drags on after the fun and has a questionable destination.)… Expand

Mostly as good as previous films though feels forced at times and ending is bemusing.

Great scenery, meals you will envy, and lots of witty talk. The two traveling companions remain essentially the same (one still happily married and one with family problems), but seem less antagonistic towards each other. The more serious moments are fewer, but the riffs are longer and seem less repetitious. Recommended even if you haven’t seen the first two films in the series.… Expand

An unlikely idea that became a trilogy. Almost like Richard Linklater's Before trilogy, although obviously without the same quality, but still the overall conditions remained and at no time stopped being entertaining.

I could hardly say that it was a memorable trilogy but for what it is, I can only say that it has enough credits to satisfy the average viewer.… Expand

Not as strong as the previous two movies. It's still a solid effort that does and should rely on the genuine warmth these two actors have for each other.
