Review - David Brent: Life on the Road
Ricky Gervais's world-class gargoyle doesn't quite cut it as a tragic figure.
Nick Hasted, The Arts Desk, 10th August 2016Video: Ricky Gervais on bringing back David Brent
Ricky Gervais attended the premiere of David Brent: Life On The Road in Leicester Square.
BBC News, 10th August 2016David Brent: Life On The Road review
Ricky Gervais very much plays the hits in an undercooked but occasionally funny big screen revival that suffers from a crippling case of de ja vu. Brent's last goodbye? You'd hope so.
Jimi Famurewa, Empire, 10th August 2016David Brent: Life On The Road Review
Ricky Gervais' film is totally un-PC, but toe-curlingly funny.
Caroline Westbrook, Metro, 10th August 2016'David Brent: Life on the Road': film review
David Brent remains an enduring comic grotesque, but this sporadically amusing big-screen resurrection is more cash-in reunion tour than killer comeback album.
Stephen Dalton, Hollywood Reporter, 10th August 2016Film review: 'David Brent: Life on the Road'
Ricky Gervais' most enduring creation hits the road for one last attempt at cracking showbiz, in a funny if meandering big-screen adventure.
Catherine Bray, Variety, 10th August 2016David Brent: Life On The Road review
Ricky Gervais justifies bringing back The Office star, but it's not quite Partridge.
What Culture!, 10th August 2016Review - David Brent: Life on the Road
The film delivers all the familiar cringe-worthy, embarrassing and inadvertent humour of The Office and then some. Definitely try to catch one of the promotional Foregone Conclusion concerts before Gervais lays his greatest brainchild to rest.
Frances Lai, The Upcoming, 10th August 2016Life on the Road disappoints
Life on the Road doesn't feel fresh or new. It entertains and ambles on, but there's nothing that makes the film feel special (something the final Christmas Special did in abundance).
Cameron K McEwan, The Observer, 10th August 2016Sorry Ricky but you hit too many dud notes
It's uncomfortably clear that Gervais, no less than Brent, rather fancies himself as a singer. You're meant to watch and wince, of course. But by the end it wasn't David I was wincing for.
