"David Brent: Life on the Road", directed by Ricky Gervais

Movie, 2016

Reprisal of the David Brent character, who's giving rock and roll a proper try out in order to try and escape the drudgery of his sales job. This is a film which treads the line between rehash and some occasional moving scenes, but is never too far away from a good laugh or two. It's a savage character portrayal, very much in line and in the same style as The Office, although there's more emphasis on the human being and the frailties of David Brent, who is treated poorly, but who's gained a little more self-awareness. He's still cringeworthy, however, and although patchy, the film delivers.
