Steve Coogan has had a chequered history when it comes to starring in films - he's either great, or cringe worthy. However, much of his fame came from spoof radio DJ Alan Partridge, so a film about the man from Norwich is a safe bet.
I have to say I didn't think much of the opening and was wondering what I had let myself in for, but, if you give it about half an hour, the jokes start flowing freely and you'll find yourself laughing out loud more often than not.
If you've never seen Alan Partridge, you should be warned that it's an odd type of humour and maybe you should dip your toe into the various Partridge TV series if you're not too sure whether you'll like it. Basically, if you like the TV shows, you'll like the film. I don't know whether we'll ever see a sequel - hopefully not, as this is probably best left on its own.
