Film critics divided as David Brent hits big screen

David Brent’s big-screen outing has received mixed reviews, with critics calling the Ricky Gervais movie both “excruciatingly brilliant” and a “slowly unfolding disappointment”.

Following on from BBC mockumentary The Office, Brent now sells cleaning products but thinks of himself as a rock star.

The former office manager pursues his dreams of musical stardom by embarking on a tour with his band, Foregone Conclusion, funded entirely from his own pocket.
