The Trip to Greece is like a tonic: exotic locations, charming restaurants serving delicious food, sunshine, sparkling blue waters. It's an enjoyable exercise in armchair travel, but it's also more than that.

I know the whole point of this comedy series is to not have that much in the way of plot, but it doesn't feel like it's going anywhere.

I don't wish to seem ungrateful, as Brydon and Coogan have given me great pleasure and many laughs in the past--but was this half-hearted film (edited down, like the other features, from a six-part British TV series) really necessary?

The Trip to Greece is a lighthearted and fun foray with two souls that feel like old friends both to each other and to their audience.
