	Author	Review
United States	Owen Gleiberman Variety	"The fact that Coogan and Brydon are playing heightened versions of themselves is part of the ticklish joy of these films, which capture the playacting inherent in life"	POS
United States	Jordan Raup The Film Stage	"It’s a fitting way to say goodbye to these fictionalized versions of Coogan and Brydon"	POS
United Kingdom	Ed Cumming The Independent	"'The Trip's genius is that the format lets two of Britain’s best comic performers the chance to have their cake, eat it, and then have some petits fours with the coffee afterwards (…) Rating: ★★★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
United Kingdom	Rebecca Nicholson The Guardian	"For all of its familiar warmth, though, it is sharp enough to cut through the holiday haze (...) The food looks so good that you can almost imagine the taste of it (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
United States	John DeFore The Hollywood Reporter	"The once-entertaining series has run out of steam (...) [No ingredient] comes close to being as enjoyable as it was even in the third film"	NEG
United States	David Ehrlich IndieWire	"[It] offers a bit of drama as a final serving with this heavy but satisfying conclusion."	POS
United States	Steve Pond The Wrap	"It’s a modest, simple approach, and one that has remained consistently pleasing for all four movies"	POS
United States	Matt Singer Screen Crush	"Coogan and Brydon’s innate comic chemistry is an undeniable piece of 'The Trip's appeal"	POS
