...his Pacino. Pretty rough when you compare it to Kevin Spacey's Pacino.
Every other impression had my audience (myself included) in complete hysterics.
Great film! Can't wait to see the series and see what I'm missing.

Yeah, it was rough but at least you could tell who he was imitating. It took me a bit to catch on with his Dustin Hoffman and I didn't even notice he was doing Ian McKellan. Or was it Patrick Stewart?
shareThe Pacino impression was dreadful....the rest were spot on.
The McKellen one didn't sound like him at all though....not sure if that was a mistake.
I agree his Hoffman needs some work. They both did a great Woody Allen... with a Brit accent.
shareI thought Coogan's Sean Connery was better, but that Rob Brydon did the better Michael Caine.
shareDitto that. Pacino and Hoffman, work on it Robbie :)
I thought some of the impersonations were deliberately bad?
shareThe only bad one was Woody Allen
When I heard his first Hopkins I thought that they had to have been audio sampling; floored me how spot on it was (not to take anything away from the rest.)

isn't that the same with any political system?
A bit late jumping in here; the film has just opened in Madrid. Yersterday I saw the Original-Language-with-Subtitles session, which is an option to the dubbed version, showing at other times. Now imagine at the dubbed sessions a local audience watching Coogan and Brydon doing their imitations. Here is where it gets surrealistic: all of those stars reach Spanish audiences through dubbing actors. No one has heard the original voices of Michael Caine or Sean Connery and can't have a clue what the joke is about.
The same situation applies to France, Italy and German, where all commercial films are also dubbed. How this film got into general distribution here boggles the mind.

"...his Pacino. Pretty rough"
Agreed.
This is one of several reasons why I think "The Trip to Italy" is a slightly better film.
Rob's Pacino improved quite a bit.
BB ;-)
it is just in my opinion - imo - 🌈
