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.

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.
