A Voyage of Understanding

This movie was one of the few that I actually have not liked. I found it boring and slow and not very funny. I don't know why I didn't like it so much but I just didn't, and I found it very hard to watch.
Most movies where actors play themselves are generally viewed as distasteful and egotistical, this was no exception. Steve Coogan is someone who I find very annoying and hearing him constantly berate another human just made me angry. This entire movie just seemed to be unoriginal and unbearable.
With all of this being said, there were some good moments. Two enemies became friends and the relationship they shared seemed to blossom throughout the movie. So, it wasn't a complete waste. I hope that these two are genuine friends in real life now because of the life changing experience they shared on the road, but, it was a movie.
The movie is centered around two people who I found not funny in the slightest, even though the where telling jokes and doing impersonations constantly. I really just don't like the people selected for the lead roles in this movie. And, making Steve Coogan look like a bad parent in the process didn't help me like him much more than when the movie began.
I may be alone in my thinking, but I just did not like this movie. I understand that it was a food day but I didn't find it worth it to see two people eat food for over an hour. Yes, I am sure the food was good, but it was the focal point of a movie based around two people who ate food.
So, although it had some good food featured in it. I will probably never watch this movie again.
