"I'm with a short Welshman who does impressions, it's not fun"
From the Youtube Playlist I stumbled on via looking for Peter Sellers' impression of Michael Caine, what I gathered about this film was that it was just Steve Coogan and Rob Brydon eating food and doing competitive impressions. This covers all of my interest in one fell swoop, so I went on the search for the full movie. Netflix finally delivers, because they have it available on streaming, unlike basically every other movie I have ever wanted to watch in the history of online movie viewing.
Coogan invites Brydon on a foodie trip across Northern England after his girlfriend returns to America and no one else will answer his calls. As they embark on an awkward restaurant tour, Steve struggles with everything from personal relationships to lost cell phone signals, Rob continually degrades Steve's career with a nonstop stream of Richard Burton impressions. Coogan gives back as good as he gets ("You can't go through life like a Radio 4 panel show") and at times beats Brydon at his own impression game.
