Before David Brent: Life On The Road was released, it was quite apparent the film would split opinion.
Life On The Road wants to be This Is Spinal Tap but it lacks the feel-good factor.
There were some reviews that fell in the middle, both Digital Spy and Radio Times giving the film three-star reviews, DS comparing the film to comedy classic Spinal Tap, saying: “Life On The Road wants to be This Is Spinal Tap but it lacks the feel-good factor.”
“David Brent: Life On The Road” should handily eclipse that effort, successfully returning the franchise to its roots in and around the industrial town of Slough, a short but palpable distance west of London.
