David Brent: Life on the Road Reviews
Flavorwire
Jason Bailey
It's missing, entirely, the humanizing elements of the 'Office; series - presumably because Gervias, the sole writer/director/star (and sole performer to cross over from that series) has vastly overestimated the character's appeal.
Slate
Willa Paskin
Maudlin and unrealistic, it's also a lot less funny than what came before.
AV Club
Josh Modell
Gervais still wears Brent like a tailored suit, but 15 years of age has taken a lot of the bite out of both the performer and the character.
RogerEbert.com
Matt Zoller Seitz
Doesn't have much to add beyond a few biographical details.
CNN.com
Brian Lowry
Ultimately, the scope of this modest exercise seems about right: A nice little movie, about a small man, with big dreams.
Observer
Cameron K. McEwan
There's not as much ingenuity, originality and spark as there was in a single thirty-minute episode of The Office.
Variety
Catherine Bray
Ricky Gervais' most enduring creation hits the road for one last attempt at cracking showbiz, in a funny if meandering big-screen adventure.
PopMatters
Bernard Boo
Gervais' focus rests squarely on David's emotional implosion which, while acted and laid out quite well, is so punishing that one wonders whether it was worth checking back in on the poor guy at all.
Common Sense Media
Renee Schonfeld
Fake comic docu has cursing and sexual references.
ReelTalk Movie Reviews
Betty Jo Tucker
Despite Ricky Gervais' unique comic talents, this David Brent rock star adventure soon becomes too repetitive.
The Playlist
Will Ashton
A squeamishly funny, deeply heartfelt success.
Film School Rejects
Rob Hunter
Do you love THE OFFICE's self-sabotaging regional manager? You'll like him as a struggling musician.
Yahoo! TV
Ken Tucker
The hour-and-a-half-plus seems twice as long, with Brent being constantly humiliated while grinning pathetically.
The Verge
Rich McCormick
The 90-minute runtime torpedoes any sympathy for the character viewers may still hold after more than a decade away.
Consequence
Matt Melis
Life on the Road ultimately makes good in a way that few comedy films based on television characters do.
Metro
Matt Prigge
Generally delightful - a significant improvement over Gervais' "Special Correspondents," as well as such curious flubs as "The Invention of Lying," the period piece "Cemetery Junction" and the second season of "Derek."
Film Journal International
Chris Barsanti
The laughs dry up long before Brent's tour and Gervais' film have finished with us.
Contactmusic.com
Rich Cline
The film is far too dry and awkward to say anything terribly meaningful about all of this, but fans of The Office will love catching up with their hero.
NME (New Musical Express)
Olly Richards
The cinematic return of the middle-management moron is the best thing Gervais has done in years.
FanboyNation.com
Sean Mulvihill
David Brent may be the character that made Ricky Gervais a comedic star, but David Brent: Life on the Road is just another example as to why that star has been rapidly fading.
