Top Critics Reviews

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.

Coogan is an old hand at the comedy of fear, envy, and bruised egotism, and the movie is packed with clever gags.

The movie clips along and pleases its fan base, and it'll amuse a lot of Partridge newbies as well.

"Alan Partridge" could have been an expansion of Coogan's original character concept into the international big time. Thankfully, it's not.
