Tom Eames, Digital Spy, 7th December 2011Life's Too Short was another poor offering from Gervais

Rachel Tarley, Metro, 2nd December 2011Ricky Gervais injures back during gym session
Ricky Gervais is in agony after pulling a muscle in his back while working out.
The Daily Express, 2nd December 2011After the low point, as it were, of last week, things pick up slightly, so instead of feeling outrageous and misjudged, the comedy feels merely flat and undercooked. Warwick Davies does sterling work but the kind of deluded, conceited anti-hero he plays needs meaty plots to romp around in and here not enough happens.
Davies's character looks at a flat and gets locked in the bathroom; makes a play to oust the dull chairman of his dwarves' rights group; and sits in on a Skype chat between Ricky Gervais and Steve Carell that goes badly wrong.

It's another enjoyable episode, but far from laugh-out-loud funny.
