Ricky Gervais mistakenly thinking he could carry a full length film without the help of any of the original supporting 'Office' cast and crucially without any input from Stephen Merchant…..plus the big feel good factor from the series, the happy ending for David, is taken away from the viewer as it's implied the lady he met at the end who liked him, is no longer with him.
This isn’t even on Netflix?
needs to be taken down this is not on netflix and is blatantly put up to promote netflix
I loved it..classic David Brent..
I came here after hot one and the song its like reggae. I like it
This is why I hate Netflix they removed it off there
Why is this nit on netflix anymore?
“Nah, turn it up!” dead silence
Love the office and can't bring myself to watch this…
Michael made a Movie and David made a band.
It’s a crime that it’s not in the documentary style. If it is I didn’t get that vibe from the trailer.
Really that’s what you named your band forgone conclusion? Your destiny is to suck.
Now everybody is a movie expert
This film was an awful idea. Not surprised Merchant had nothing to do with it.
Why can’t we see The Office on Netflix??
Don’t get me wrong here, Ricky Gervais is one of my greatest heroes, I love everything he does and says. The Office, Extras, Life’s Too Short, The Ricky Gervais Show I think are tantamount to genius. But this was just too depressing. The Office had it’s sad moments but it was also hysterically funny.
Nothing about this movie was funny at all, it was just awkward and truly depressing to watch a man throw his life and dreams away like this. The scene when the band make him pay for their time and drinks just to sit with him was the moment it went way too far for me. I don’t care how awkward or irritating someone can be, they just don’t deserve that.
I could be wrong, but is it due to Stephen Merchant not being involved in Gervais’ later work that it’s not as good? Does he need Merchant to balance out the depression with optimism?
I don’t know what went wrong with this one but man… it just wasn’t good.
We need a Michael Scott movie with him and his family!
One of the most depressing 'comedies' of all time.
Mediocre movie. Character felt nothing like Brent. Defo missed Merchants writing input. Not sure what Ricky G thinking tbh
Crazy to think Michael Scott is somewhere in this universe.
Pls put this back on Netflix
This is gonna be implemented on RTV
I've got to own up by saying I never liked RG – but watched Life on the Road last night and thought it was an excellent piece
UK way better than US
the office was a mockumentary?
This needed the softer touch of Stephen Merchant in the writing. Too dark, they needed to make Brent more humble and having learned some humility.
That shirt/vest/hair combo he has on stage makes him look like the Fat White Duke.
Became clear from this film that Stephen Merchant was the brains behind The Office
Its so funny
Did anyone actually watch this?
gervais always puts dare i say too much sadness and humility into his writing and i find its missing Steve Merchants input to balance the comedy with Ricky's writing.
A shame really.
This film basically renders The Office and its ending, meaningless.
The film is good enough, if The Office series hadn't existed but it just attempts to rehash the whole essence of the series in 90 minutes, in an utterly inferior manner.
I'm still waiting for a Michael Scott version of this. Now that we know they are in the same timeline, literally
I had no idea this existed until Ricky just mentioned it on a twitter stream. Looks amazing plus Roisin Conaty is in it.
Brilliant movie and even better soundtrack!
I really loved this movie. What a fun follow-up to the fantastic original show.
Can't believe I'd never watched this before until now. It was brilliant
Just watched this; brilliant. The only annoying thing is that I can't stop singing Native American: "Oh, oh, oh, Native American, fly like an eagle sit like a pelican".
Loved it
