"When a newspaper offers Steve Coogan (24 Hour Party People) the chance to review a series of fine restaurants in the English countryside, he thinks it will make for a lovely getaway with his girlfriend Mischa (Margo Stilley, 9 Songs). When she backs out, last resort Rob Brydon fills in as a less-than-ideal travel companion.
