By the time Coogan is addressing Brydon as Yorick in a skull-filled catacomb outside Naples, the film's true subject has been made as crystal clear as the case surrounding a lava-crusted corpse in old Pompeii.
It's very smart and entertaining, and if Coogan, Brydon and Winterbottom want to do a third film, I'd be more than happy to take another ride with them.
A culinary journey through the beautiful Italian geography, mired in an irrepressible chattering where Byron or Shelley's poems are recited. [Full review in Spanish]
