David Brent: Life on the Road Film Review

Finished watching David Brent: Life on the Road, starring writer and director Ricky Gervais and Ben Bailey Smith. The film opens up several years after the final episode of the Office as David Brent (Ricky Gervais) is now working as a sales representative for a different company while in his spare time David has his own band, Foregone Conclusion which has gone through a major change as David is the only original member left as one day he decides to go on tour around the London area in hopes to get signed to a record label. Overall this was an ok film as it catches people up with what has happened previously in the life of David Brent since the Office which is a nice touch for people how have not watched the series. Most of the jokes don't gel well as they're very awkward and go almost too far with how offensive they are. The musical moments of the movie are the best parts from the music by Foregone Conclusion and even when Dom Johnson (Ben Bailey Smith) goes on stage which helps to give his character a great conclusion to his own story. 5/10.
