What to Know

Critics Consensus

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. Go to Full Review Deborah Ross The Spectator 09/05/2018
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. Go to Full Review Larushka Ivan-Zadeh metro.co.uk 09/05/2017
4/5
Hopping from small to big screen is a trick few manage. This wisely and bravely keeps it small-scale and local - playing out like a slightly over-stretched TV special rather than a doomed attempt to lap-dance to Hollywood with A Good Day To Die Partridge Go to Full Review Farah Cheded A Good Movie To Watch 10/14/2023
Coogan is on typically brilliant form here: every line is delivered with his characteristically impeccable timing, and he’s full of the inspired energy that originally made Alan such a hit when the character debuted in the ‘90s. Go to Full Review Robert Sims Lights Camera Austin 01/22/2022
Part of Alan Partridge's charm is that it is defiantly British in the targets it seeks out. Go to Full Review Leigh Paatsch Herald Sun (Australia) 05/05/2020
3/5
So have your wits about you, and be prepared to laugh hard and often. Sometimes against your better judgment. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Keith B B @Okbullard Dec 21 It had a little humor but mostly just silly humor. I'd never watch it again. See more alan G. @agenser Dec 4 Steve Coogan has to be the worst British actor ever. See more Daniel R @Daniel304 Apr 5 Foot like a traction engine See more Pat B @RT67592582 12/30/2024 Pure genius. Steve Coogan, Felicity Montagu, and the whole gang just nail it. I loved every minute. See more Oliver A @LittleOldPennywise 07/07/2023 Quite possibly the funniest film of the decade. This is Steve Coogan at his absolute best supported by stellar writing and exceptional performances from Tim Key, Colm Meaney and Felicity Montagu. The laughs are constant and range from painfully clever to downright silly and you enjoy every single one. Truly exceptional. See more bill f @BrokerBill 01/09/2023 Great fun! I didn't think the magnificent TV series would transfer to the large screen, but it works and there are some great gags throughout. AhhHaaa! See more Read all reviews
