About this movie

David Brent: Life on the Road sees the highly anticipated big screen debut of one of comedy's best-loved characters, David Brent (Ricky Gervais). The star of the hit BBC series The Office, Brent hasn't given up on his dream of rock stardom. Assembling a group of musicians who are just in it for the money, and a talented rapper in an attempt to gain some street cred, Brent embarks on a self-financed tour - a last ditch effort to find fame and fortune. Featuring original music by the man himself, David Brent: Life on the Road returns Gervais to his most iconic character, once again pushing the boundaries of comedy with hilarious, excruciating and surprisingly moving results.

Ratings and reviews

Poor little ricky wanted to be mr hollywood then his movies flopped (cause they where terrible) so he spat the dummy and tryed to make it look like he didn't want to anymore by having a go at everyone at the awards .... Not fooling me boy.

I enjoyed it! I seem to be in the minority but there were enough laugh out loud moments to keep me interested. The music was hilarious, the rapper was great. And underlying it all was this bleak view of Brent - a man who was so detached from his real self that he had no authenticity.

The Office is one of my all time favourite TV shows and David Brent in the office was a brilliant character. However, this does not feel like the same awkward but loveable character. This is basically a movie about Brent being bullied and used. It makes for an uncomfortable watch and is a far cry from the original brilliance of the character from The Office.
