Details

David Brent: Life on the Road (2016) follows the hilarious misadventures of David Brent, the former star of the hit fictional British TV series The Office (2001), as he embarks on a new career as a rock star on the road. Caught on camera by a documentary crew, this mockumentary offers a humorous and cringe-worthy glimpse into Brent's delusional quest for musical stardom.

David Brent, played by the brilliant Ricky Gervais, exudes his trademark awkwardness as he self-proclaims himself to be a talented singer-songwriter and hits the road with his band, Foregone Conclusion. As the troupe struggles to gain recognition and fill small venues with their underwhelming performances, Brent's over-the-top personality clashes with the realities of life on tour.

The documentary crew captures the absurdity and outrageousness of Brent's rock star aspirations, highlighting his desperate attempts at self-promotion and fleeting moments of self-doubt. Along the way, Brent's misguided attempts at love and his encounters with fans and critics provide ample opportunities for hilarity and discomfort.

David Brent: Life on the Road is a must-watch for fans of The Office and anyone who appreciates cringe-worthy humor. With Gervais' impeccable portrayal of the endearing yet painfully unaware protagonist, this mockumentary offers an entertaining and authentic exploration of dreams, delusions, and the realities of life as a wannabe rock star.
