Two British TV performers tour northern England sampling expensive restaurants. They spend their time constantly competing mostly using impressions. Since they're both quite good at it the two hours is very entertaining but the underlying nastiness soured the mix for me. Coogan in particular came across as a shit...deeply unhappy...always with a bitter edge. This could have been the personae they adopted for this film. Who knows? I've never heard of either of them before this.
Still it was good to watch a film about two guys with no violence, car chases, etc. A distant variation of My Dinner With Andre.
