Alan Partridge: Alpha Papa 2013

While it doesn't reach the magnificent heights as Coogan's three hilarious classic Alan Partridge series (Four if one counts The Day Today, which I do) Alpha Papa still has more than enough going for it to make it one of my favorite comedies of 2013, one that is easy to revisit every now and then.

there is a show?! gotta see it :D

Steve Coogan brings his BBC character Alan Partridge to the big screen in this satirical British comedy. When his radio station is taken hostage by a disgruntled employee who was fired, radio DJ Alan Partridge is asked to help serve as negotiator throughout the crisis. Both Coogan and his co-star Colm Meaney give great performances. And the comedy is fairly well-done, doing a good job at mixing dry humor with slapstick. However, the writing’s a little weak doesn’t seem to know where the story’s going at times. Yet even with its problems, Alan Partridge is entertaining and delivers plenty of laughs.

In my opinion Alan Partridge can be a bit hit and miss but this film was brilliant, I loved everything about it

Not a bad attempt at bringing Alan to the big screen.

Many funny moments, and the return of Micheal and Lynn since I'm Alan Partridge, the TV show concluded.
Ah-Ha!

I was not very familiarized about Steve Coogan's Alan Partridge character but all the good reviews that I saw about Alan Partridge: Alpha Papa here on Letterboxd caught my attention and I wanted to check it.

I am sure that the fans of the character will appreciate it on a different level but I am pretty satisfied with what I saw. Alan Partridge is a very peculiar and hilarious character and I really enjoyed this film.

pretty weak, not worth watching in the end. Doesn't compare to a single episode of the show
