The review: The day I have been waiting for, was finally here! David Brent, the movie. Whilst honestly not finding the series of the office very funny, but still entertaining... I knew I would have to see the film. The film is actually much more entertaining to watch. Whilst watching the film in the cinema with the full effects, I felt as if it didn't really matter where I was watching it... As long as I watched it. This film, honestly isn't a great story line... but still a joyful experience. The story line is about David Brent, who wants to become noticed for his music. Desperately wanting to be liked and signed, he goes out with the full works. Spending money non-stop with whatever it takes to make it finally work out for him. Even paying his band to hang out with him. The comedy elements from the office (2001) is also illustrated in the film, this tells the ongoing story of David Brent and expresses him as a protagonist clearly. David Brent as a protagonist, is very likeable to watch. While feeling sorry that things haven't worked out yet, to just hoping that things will be okay. When realising no one likes him, it's sad to watch him go through this but so lovely to witness the character never giving up. This film is certainly worth watching and shouldn't be missed out. However I'd like to say that there wouldn't be a huge benefit in going to watch this at the cinema. For the reason that this film would be just as good, in a cosy home environment also. I really did enjoy the film, the highlight of the whole entire film for me... was near the end, where everything was excepting. I really enjoyed all so the connection between Nigel and David Brent, they really did add the spark that was needed.
This comedy, certainly had some laugh out loud moments and I will certainly be watching it again.

As always,
Hit That Film!
