The Alan Partridge movie ditches the TV series' nuanced humor for something broader, and succeeds in presenting the character on a global scale.

Alan Partridge: Alpha Papa...does play to the character's strengths, giving him reams of carefully honed comic writing disguised as casual malapropisms and off-the-cuff banter. Oct 24, 2018 | Full Review…

"Alan Partridge" could have been an expansion of Coogan's original character concept into the international big time. Thankfully, it's not. Apr 24, 2014 | Rating: 3/4 | Full Review…

The movie clips along and pleases its fan base, and it'll amuse a lot of Partridge newbies as well. Apr 24, 2014 | Rating: 3/4 | Full Review…

Coogan is an old hand at the comedy of fear, envy, and bruised egotism, and the movie is packed with clever gags. Apr 24, 2014 | Full Review…

The way Alan feels on the outside is the way a lot of people feel at their most vulnerable. And so we watch him and recognize him, and then cringe and wish him luck. Apr 24, 2014 | Rating: 3/4

After making a crackling good impression, Alan Partridge overstays its welcome to a harrowing extent. Apr 18, 2014 | Rating: 2.5/4

I love the character of Alan Partridge so much... He is a genius creation; just wrong enough and inappropriate enough and narcissistic enough to be comic, but never so wrong he's entirely unbelievable or unsympathetic. Sep 5, 2018 | Full Review…

While I found giggles in this misadventure, it's not a masterpiece I can unreservedly recommend, but there's certainly intelligence, humor and nudity to be found. Aug 22, 2018 | Full Review…

You don't need to be a fan of the show to find enjoyment out of this movie, which is endearing regardless of its overly simple plot and sometimes asinine sense of humor. Aug 14, 2018 | Rating: 3.5/5 | Full Review…

The joy of Partridge is his capacity for failure, but the only failure here is having cast him as a hero in a -- pause for laughter -- blockbuster with a flimsy script and a cul-de-sac of a premise that sees him backed into a corner. Mar 8, 2018 | Rating: 2/5 | Full Review…
