Music 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 2016

David 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'.

Review - David Brent: Life on the Road

Ricky Gervais's world-class gargoyle doesn't quite cut it as a tragic figure.

David 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.

David Brent: Life On The Road Review

Ricky Gervais' film is totally un-PC, but toe-curlingly funny.

'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 2016

Film 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 2016

David Brent: Life On The Road review

Ricky Gervais justifies bringing back The Office star, but it's not quite Partridge.

What Culture!, 10th August 2016

Review - 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.
