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.February 11, 2017
A squeamishly funny, deeply heartfelt success.February 12, 2017
Despite Ricky Gervais' unique comic talents, this David Brent rock star adventure soon becomes too repetitive.February 22, 2017
Life on the Road was a poignant look into a character I never dreamed could be this interesting.February 14, 2017
Fake comic docu has cursing and sexual references.February 09, 2017
Ultimately, the scope of this modest exercise seems about right: A nice little movie, about a small man, with big dreams.February 17, 2017
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.February 14, 2017
Maudlin and unrealistic, it's also a lot less funny than what came before.August 15, 2016
If nothing else, this is a reminder of what a beautifully realised and horribly relatable a character David Brent is. We all know someone a bit like this man.August 10, 2016
There's not as much ingenuity, originality and spark as there was in a single thirty-minute episode of The Office.February 10, 2017
Doesn't have much to add beyond a few biographical details.February 13, 2017
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.
