Last 30mins was def the best as well and so funny
For me Colm meaney made the film(I know it's supposed to be Alan partridge). And without him. Would have been very dry.
[spoiler]funniest part was when he was hiding in the loo[/spoiler]


6.5/10. But would only really recommend if u are a Alan partridge fan
Were you on the front row? Hubby and I were laughing all the way through, we though it was hillarious :rofl:
Lol. Yes I was actually.

Glad u both enjoyed it o/

Lol, a belated "hello Claire" :D

After seeing the trailer will definitely strike this off from my watch list. Not a AP fan.

Loved it, a refreshing lack of catchphrase humour too. Up there with the best things Coogan has ever done.

I like Partridge, I like films. I laughed, certainly, but it's only been an hour or so since the film finished and I can't recall much of the film. Funny but useless. Not great, however, when you look at the writers on hand. Could have been much much more.

This was great! So Funny!

Classic Partridge

Went to see this on Friday and although I'm not the world's biggest AP fan I still enjoyed it. Admittedly I found it more amusing than laugh out loud funny but as it was still a pretty entertaining way to spend ninety or so minutes it gets a 7/10 from me...

I was pleased with this, not knowing anything about the character, really. I'm sure i'd have liked it more if I was familiar, but liked it fine just the same. :)

Brilliant, just brilliant. Everything I wanted from the long anticipated Partridge movie.

I laughed throughout and sure I missed tons of witty lines. Can't wait to see it again on DVD and also see some of the supposed hour they cut out. 9.5/10

Just got around to seeing this tonight (used one of my sky cineworld codes) cinema was pretty quiet. I was never a huge AP fan, though I have seen snippets over the years. I must admit it was very funny, gave me a much needed laugh. I am sure not being a fan there were loads of relevant AP jokes that went over my head, but would definitely recommend whether you are a fan or not. I would agree re the last section :rofl2: A surprising 8/10 from me as I didnt expect to enjoy it as much as I did.
