in a car, chatting and doing impersonations.
Doesn't sounds like it would be the plot for a good movie.
But it is, we saw it last night.
With qualifications.
1. Some knowledge of the actors and their work is needed.
2. The humour tends to be very British.
3. The humour is balanced by pathos.
We've got the
TV series which this movie is based, coming over from the UK on DVD, really looking forward to watching it. (Sean & SMF will get a copy!)

Ah! So it's worth a watch then.

Who is Steve Coogan? Has he been in anything I might have seen?

His scene with Alfred Molina in Coffee and Cigarettes was subtle and clever in its humour.
