David Brent: Life On The RoadThe character has a lot to offer since it just doesn't pick up where it was left off, Ricky Gervais accounts in those 15 years on screen by not only writing but playing it more mature and strong like never before. David Brent: Life On The Road is like a montage to the character but projecting in the most non-ordinary way and checks off each and every tale emerging from his mind. Ricky Gervais whispers innocence despite of whatever he may be speaking about and keeps it clean and crystal clear when it comes to act out pain and intense sequences. David Brent: Life On The Road is depressing, cruel and makes you wanna root and hope betterment for the protagonist despite of its eerie deeds making it more human than ever and also in the end Ricky waves to the character offering hope and goodwill.

David Brent: Life on the Road is a great movie with a well written plot and a talented comedic cast. It's great fun from start to finish, having me in stitches on several occasions as we follow Ricky Gervais' iconic character from the Office hitting the road and tries to make a name for himself in a series of singing contests across the country. As you may remember from The Office, Brent is quite inept, which puts him in to situations that are cringe inducing for an audience to watch, and that is no different here. As well as that, it never forgets to have a heart, adding a lot of humanity to Brent, and a very sweet finale. I did find the band members that Brent went on his tour with, besides Dom, to be very two dimensional, unlikeable characters. There is nothing given to these characters beyond the fact that they do not like Brent and do not want to work with him, we learn nothing about them outside of this tour to feel for them in any way, yet at the end of the film we are expected to be happy in seeing them do well, despite doing nothing for the whole movie except knocking down a character we obviously do support. The cast is all around terrific. Gervais steps back in to the role so naturally, it is hard to believe it has been over a decade since he portrayed him. Doc Brown is also a stellar talent and his relationship with Brent is the highlight of the movie for me. I also love all the scenes in the office building, taking me back to The Office, it was so pleasing seeing the character in that atmosphere once again. The movie also has plenty of hilarious, catchy tunes throughout, with one about people with disabilities that had me in tears.Funny and heartwarming all at once. Well written and somewhat nostalgic, I would recommend David Brent: Life on the Road to anyone looking for a good comedy, particularly if you are a fan of Gervais or The Office. David Brent takes a break from his office job to take a trip across England in the hopes of making it as a rock star. Best Performance: Ricky Gervais

I was very excited when I saw Netflix was releasing a David Brent movie, and it did not disappoint. There are at least a dozen big laugh out loud moments in the movie. The songs alone were unbelievably funny. ("...and dwarfs aren't babies. You can't just pick'em up--they got rights! And anyway don't assume you could--they're not light! I learned the hard way.") I must have rewatched that song alone a dozen times. Ricky Gervais is a comedic genius, no doubt about it. I only hope we haven't seen the last of David Brent!

OK, don't shoot me, I'm a humongous Ricky Gervais fan, ever since I saw The Office for the first time, so I may not be the most objective of people. But films are made for us all, including crazy fans like me, and we're all entitled to our opinion. And my opinion is - it is brilliant and I love it. I loved cringing all the time at Brent's pathetic ridiculousness, but I also loved his humanity and true heartbreak. I don't agree the film is over-sentimental. We get a chance to see Brent's soft side, though he's trying his best to hide it, and it's great. Ricky Gervais is an absolute genius at portraying this character, and I hope it's not the last we see of him. Additionally, since I have a chance to do it here, I want to express my admiration for Ricky Gervais as a person, a beautiful person who stands up for those who have no voice. RESPECT!!!
