David Brent: Life on the Road

Don't waste your time ... Seriously. Don't. Go watch grass grow or paint dry instead. It'll be more interesting. I can count the number of times I laughed on one hand, and even then it was out of sheer embarrassment than anything else. Complete and utter waste of time. I feel like I got ripped off, and I saw it for free! Don't waste your time or your money on this film. I'm going to be telling literally everyone I know not to watch this, something I've never done before because it was just that bad! Your time would be better spent doing something mundane, like cleaning your house, or tidying up the garden.

I was in Liverpool, the opposite end of the spectrum to Slough, home to soft southern saps where Brent sets this turkey, it doesn't work with it's-oh look self effacing white male, yea right, I was sitting at the back and could smell his smugness. But he, the office used to work... A long time ago a good partner of mine, walked out on me saying 'I refuse to spend another day in a country like this where people are in a perpetual state of embarrassment'. It cracked me up, and I pulled out some old' OFFICE episodes, he laughed and stayed. Like I said that was a long time ago, not even the tittering classes of the south can find this still works in 2016! Go Check Louis CK or any number of great American self effacing white men, who also don't hog all the lines like Brent the Bore does. Unless you're really old' and unable to empty yourself of that English middle class angst where you're in a constant state of embarrassment in, which case you'll watch and titter to this turkey for nostalgic reasons.
