Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaDuring an interview on Talksport, Doc Brown revealed that a lot of the scenes had improv involved, and the scene where David (Ricky Gervais) is talking with the waitress, most of that was un-scripted. You'll notice Doc Brown hiding his face in his hoodie, this is to cover up his laugh and breaking character, due to the nature of David's comments.
- GoofsWhen David Brent is doing his Chinese impersonation, his 2 female colleagues are seen watching disapprovingly in the background. However, a matter of seconds later, one of those women is emerging from the office of Miriam, having evidently had a conversation with her, with no time to get there and have a conversation so quickly.

Featured review
I thoroughly enjoyed this movie, many funny moments.
My wife wasn't as enthusiastic and when i asked her why she said she was cringing because of the awkward moments brought on by Ricky's character...David Brent.
The only thing Ricky Gervais has in common with other British comedians is that they love to laugh at themselves...make a goose of themselves....e.g John Cleese...Apart from that he is definitely one of a kind.
The humour is an extension of his character in "The Office", if you liked this series then you will get the humour and will enjoy this movie.
The plot centre's around David wanting to have a shot at fame and self finances a thrown together band and books a week's worth of venues. Barely anyone turns up and even his own band doesn't like him.
The plot is OK...You can tell that David Brant despite all the 'foot in mouth' moments is a genuine tryer and does garner some sympathy towards the end of the movie. its apparent the humour does disguise an individual seeking acceptance and genuine friends.
I had many good laughs - an easy 8/10 for me...
