Alan Partridge is one of my all time favourite comedy characters. This, unfortunately must prove to be the last outing of the character.
I was hoping for some classic Partridge while watching this, instead we got 5-10 minutes of pointless and quite frankly, pathetic musical numbers which made no sense whatsoever, and then the fun began. Right? Wrong. It got worse. No originality, none of the well known awkward Partridge moments we all came to love, and it just never got any better.
We then got more pointless songs where Coogan tried far too hard to force some humour from quite frankly awful lyrics.
The film released a few years ago (Papa Alpha) was overall poor, though did have it's moments, this has nothing, absolutely no redeeming moments. How the audience managed to stay for the whole event is something of a miracle. No one could've blamed them had they all headed out at the intermission.
In closing. Please let this be the last outing of a once great character. Let it go.
