While so much of David Brent's world is about the joke being on Brent for much of this movie it felt like the joke was on the audience. Part of what made the original series great was that we got to know the secondary characters. In this movie the secondary characters' existence is to reinforce what a flawed figured that Brent is. The cringe worked in the original series because you didn't get it in every scene. In this movie it was everywhere. I have loved literally everything that Gerais has ever done (including his lesser-known dramas) but this movie wasn't great or even good.
