It's started.

Hopefully the actual film will be funnier than that.

Colm Meaney is second billed on its IMDB page. I'm already sold.

 

[Cassie]

Hectic Danger Day!

 

[Fuddlemiff]

Hmm. It's got that guy I don't like. But he isn't doing poems... so.

 

[CaptainWacky]

He was good as Sidekick Simon in the webisodes.

 

[The Tomtrek]

Should have called it "Alan's Film".

COLM MEANEY and Lynn get it a thumbs up for me!

I will now predict whisky's response and put it in spoiler space. Whisky, please don't read until you've watched the trailer and responded (and this is all in good furn, OF COURSE.)

Spoiler

"They usually put all the funniest bits in the trailer, if that's all the funniest bits then we're in trouble."

I still like Tim Key

That looks genuinely good, and everything Steve Coogan does generally makes me nauseous.

 

[CaptainWacky]

Kiss my face!

NATURAL BORN QUIZZERS LOL

I doesn't look that good, but I guess trailers can be like that. I'll still watch it.

 

[whisky]

That actually made me laugh a few times.

Doubt I will see it at pictures, but seems worth getting on dvd.

Favourite line:

Police woman "Can you hurry up please"
Alan "I'm sorry, have you got another siege to go to?"

"Or at a cat."

Is it any good?

 

[CaptainWacky]

Haven't seen it, but the reviews were good and "fans" seemed to have enjoyed it.

 

[CaptainWacky]

HI, I finally watched this (on Christmas morning...afternoon really) and it was good. I MEAN you do have to accept that it's not going to be exactly like I'm Alan Partridge or any of the other stuff, but why woulnd't you accept that anyway!? It made me laugh and there were actually some pretty touching parts (good acting from Coogan in the scene where the radio bastard was slagging off Lynn.) Loved Dave Clifton going on about his drug addiction all the time.

Lynn and Michael maybe felt slightly out of character but I guess that's just because of the transition to a feature film?

"Michael's let himself down."

I HOPE FOR FURTHER ALAN PARTRIDGE PROJECTS.

I liked the new characters and Future Dave Clifton.

Lots of under-utilized actors in there (Nigel Lindsay!), but I guess that comes with doing a comedy about a narcissist.

Good but not something I'll rewatch.

I like the racist, drunk woman who showed up. "I can put up with one of those things but not both at the same time!"
