THE TRIP TO ITALY Writer/Director: Michael Winterbottom Starring: Steve Coogan, Rob Brydon, Rosie Fellner, Claire Keelan, Timothy Leach If someone asked me to drop everything and take a free trip to Italy for a week, I would definitely take them up on that offer.

The Kadam family lost their family restaurant and everything else back in India due to a fire. After spending some unsuccessful time in England, they decide to take another journey and move to France. Papa (Puri) is bound and determined to get the restaurant business upRead More →
