David Brent: Life on the Road (stylized onscreen simply as Life on the Road) is a 2016 British mockumentary comedy film written, directed, and produced by Ricky Gervais and released by Entertainment One.[1] The film stars Gervais as David Brent, a character he played in the BBC television comedy series The Office,[4] who has a film crew that shadows him as he travels up and down the country living his dream of being a rock star.[5] Gervais said, "This film delves much more into his private life than The Office ever did and we really get to peel back the layers of this extraordinary, ordinary man." He has emphasised that it is "not an Office film".[6]
The film was released on 19 August 2016 in the UK by Entertainment One to mixed reviews and was a box-office bomb.[7]
