Review

If you like Ricky Gervais in general and David Brent in particular, you'll definitely also like David Brent: Life on the Road – Gervais' follow-up to The Office. Fifteen years have passed since The Office and Brent now works as a sales rep (with limited success) in the bathroom supply business. He decides to take a month of unpaid leave to pursue a career in the music business, which, not surprisingly, puts him in an abundance of awkward situations. Although the writing here isn't as crisp as Gervais' best work, his realization of the David Brent character is so saturated with pure, timeless comedy that the film is an amusing, at times hilarious delve into the most embarrassing parts of the human psyche.
