Really enjoyed both of these films. I thought they were not only funny, but an insightful look at adult male friendship, competition and the lives of actors. I hope they make a third installment - the end of THE TRIP TO ITALY suggests maybe a TRIP TO CALIFORNIA could be next.

2) Yes, they were both really appealing. And a trip to Cali sounds great.

I enjoyed the Romantic poetry angle in both films, too. Made me go back to Wordsworth and Shelley and Byron and Coleridge.
