David Brent: Life On The Road review
Despite some laugh-out-loud moments, The Office boss's return to the screen is somewhat underwhelming.
Matt Glasby, The List, 15th August 2016The Office - where are they now?
What has happened to the actors who helped to make The Office? We never did hear much from that man Gervais again...
Rupert Hawksley, The Telegraph, 11th August 2016Music review: David Brent and Foregone Conclusion
Ricky Gervais's band can be a lot of fun, as long as you never, ever take him seriously.
Nick Levine, The Independent, 11th 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.
Kevin Maher, The Times, 11th August 2016Film review: Life on the Road
In terms of comedy it is in decent working order.
Bruce Dessau, Beyond The Joke, 11th 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.
