UnowPriceless hyped garbage

Tacticalin An absolute waste of money

PiraBit if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.

Gary The movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.

gemimah-henderson I'm not a "super fan" or anything but I really enjoyed it. I also found the Office hilarious, I guess Ricky Gervais just knows where my elbow is haha. I can see how it wouldn't be funny for everyone, but comedy is about having a go and having a laugh and if you didn't like it, accept it and move on.

Rickting 13 years after the end of the beloved sitcom, The Office, David Brent is still stuck in an office, but a documentary crew is filming him again and he decides to go on tour with a band in a last-ditch attempt to live his dreams of being a rock-star. Like most films connected to TV shows, this is annoying since it doesn't connect to the show enough, with Gareth, Tim and Dawn disappointingly absent. Ricky Gervais was never the most impressive actor in The Office, but he gives a good (If often irritating) tragicomic performance here. This film serves as an interesting exploration of the character and has many good laughs and touching character moments along the way; it humanizes David Brent, though don't worry it also embarrasses him and every opportunity. The trouble is, there's a line between comedy and sadism and after a funny first half, the film just gets extremely uncomfortable and stops being enjoyable. The Office was quite depressing. Extras was incredibly depressing. But this- wow. Be warned: you will cringe. A lot. The original show had enough realism and honesty to pull off the cringe, as it felt so truthful but here the uncomfortable stuff goes too far. I can tell Stephen Merchant was the one who added the nuance that made the sitcom so good. With Gervais on his own, there's no-one to stop him from taking the cringe comedy too far. Even so, while he's clearly not as good as he was, there's no denying that this is a funny and often enjoyable road movie with some nice bits of drama. 6/10

shaunwoodbury I was very excited when I saw Netflix was releasing a David Brent movie, and it did not disappoint. There are at least a dozen big laugh out loud moments in the movie. The songs alone were unbelievably funny. ("...and dwarfs aren't babies. You can't just pick'em up--they got rights! And anyway don't assume you could--they're not light! I learned the hard way.") I must have rewatched that song alone a dozen times. Ricky Gervais is a comedic genius, no doubt about it. I only hope we haven't seen the last of David Brent!

dzpack I liked this comedy and i find it sad that many people are bashing it. It has many funny moments throughout and it is also giving a message at the same time. Probably those who didn't like it were comparing it to the Office and there are similarities of course but this is different it is a movie and it is a romantic comedy actually. I do recommend it especially for people who like Ricky and his style it's all there all what you need to get the best of him. Even the songs are nice and catchy.
