Leave your thoughts about Alan Partridge: Alpha Papa.
| IndieWireDiana DrummAlan Partridge stays true to this small, very specific world of regional British radio and this class of local celebrity while also injecting the high-level drama needed to carry such a story to a much larger audience. It’s this balance that should win the film over for Alan Partridge fans and the general movie-going public alike. |
| The A.V. ClubJesse HassengerDirector Declan Lowney does an admirable job making a confined film look cinematic without overblowing it into action-comedy mode. |
| McClatchy-Tribune News ServiceRoger MooreIt’s a comedy of sight gags, zingers and awkward pauses — lots of those. Sentimental at times, yes. But funny. Always. |
| Los Angeles TimesBetsy SharkeyIn taking Partridge to the movies, the writers go broader and deeper than they typically do with the story. |
| New York Daily NewsElizabeth WeitzmanSo clear your calendar. There’s no better time to get to know a character so obnoxiously stubborn that not even his own creator can shake him. |
| EmpireDan JolinRuddy hilarious. Just what big-screen comedy needed. |
| The GuardianCatherine ShoardThe genius of Alpha Papa, then, is in remaining faithful to Partridge's small-screen soul while also managing the demands of a big-screen Alan. |
| Total FilmJames MottramSmartly executed, endlessly quotable and machine-gun quick, this is one of the funniest films of 2013. Accessible for Partridge novices and hugely rewarding for the faithful. |
| VarietyJosh KupeckiAlan Partridge is one of the more satisfying comedies in recent memory, and with rumors of a sequel, let’s hope that this is the beginning of Alan Partridge, movie star. He definitely wouldn’t have it any other way. |
| Boston GlobeTy BurrAlan Partridge is the cinematic equivalent of Marmite: a much-loved condiment in Britain and a puzzlement almost everywhere else. An acquired taste, certainly, but on the basis of this movie, well worth sampling at least once. |
