Matt Glasby, The List, 15th August 2016David Brent: Life On The Road, review
The film sees Gervais on sparkling form as his most famous comic character, picking up just where we left him; despised by most of his fellow workers and still pursuing his Walter Mitty dream of 'Brentertainment'.
Sean O'Grady, The Independent, 11th August 2016Film: David Brent: Life on the Road
As performed, written and directed by Ricky Gervais, our hero is still office-based (he's a sales rep for a toiletries firm), and still a master of hopeless quips.

David Edwards, The Mirror, 10th August 2016I talk: David Brent: Life on the Road - review
15 years ago, The Office launched on BBC Two and now David Brent is back... only this time he's on the big screen and I've been lucky enough to watch Life On The Road ahead of its release. The Office was a mockumentary which disrupted the comedy landscape and whose influence can still be seen today in comedies such as People Just Do Nothing on BBC Three, W1A on BBC Two and the recently launched Borderline on Channel 5.
