    Just finished the autobiography and it's definitely the greatest I've ever read. Would have made an amazing movie if they could have done it.

    The early years are piss-takingly funny.

    Agreed. I also love how his backstory is consistent with what he's said over the years.

    Nope. Found it so entertaining I promised I'd read the book aloud to my girlfriend if she wouldn't read it. The setlist will come out then.

    The only thing better than the book of I,Partridge is the audiobook of I,Partridge.

    A friend of a friend has already seen it at the press screening about ten days ago. It's really, really good apparently.

    The Independent (in the UK) gave it four stars as well. Seems to have been well received.

    I couldn't be more excited. I bought a new Partridge shirt this morning to wear to the screening. I'm taking two days off of work just to see this film with my friends as we grew up watching Partridge and it wouldn't mean the same for me to watch it over here without them. Got tickets booked for Leicester Square on opening night.

    Just back. It's absolutely hilarious. I'd seen a lot of people doubt how good a Partridge movie could be and for the first minute or so I was worried by how polished it looked. But I have to say it is a top quality film and anyone who goes in a Partridge fan will come out raving about it I think. Surprised by how old some of the old favourites look and how some of them still look the exact same.

    Coogan and Meaney compliment each other brilliantly. I would've loved to see Alan
    get some revenge on Dave Clifden
    .

    Can't believe the gave out some Terrys Chocolate Oranges at the premier. They also had some superficial damage(yup they thought of everything).

    Assuming the reviews still hold up the promise of quality, I'm keen to see this, but for those who already have: is it something I could see with people unfamiliar with Patridge? I don't want to have to be explaining all the subtleties and injokes throughout the flick, so wondering if it'll all go over a lot of peoples' heads?

    I haven't seen all of Alan Partridges stuff so you wont need to do any explaining, its just a non stop roller coaster of laughs really..

    Alan Partridge left a recorded message for the irish premier audience as he couldnt be there before the movie kicked off, was pretty funny, he pretty much spoils his own movie in the message, gives away the ending and then gives ah "oh ****" ive just spoiled the whole movie face, whole audience was in hysterics

    Is this even playing in IMC Dun Laoghaire? There's a huge poster for it out front but it's not even in the listings on its opening day. :confused:

    Both series of 'I'm Alan Partridge' were recently added to UK/IE Netflix, so I have been engorging myself in preparation for the film.

    One thing that's interesting: from the trailers it looks like they're not using a lot of make-up on Coogan to age / change his appearance; Partridge looks very different to the version from the TV series.

    Yeah, they took that decision and a lot of people have commented on it. I don't know if they thought that the make-up wuld have been distracting on the big screen. Partridge is 8 years older than Coogan so it will be noticible.

    Oh and dunno if people saw this, but it's Alan's personal message to Ireland, I believe broadcast before the Premier?

    "The Irish diaspora... which is like a positive disease" :D

    I'd imagine partridge would have got heavily into Botox, hence the difference in make up maybe?

    Also remember this is a cinema release so they're always going to 'pretty' Partridge up a bit.

    Amazing film. Simply everything I'd hoped a Partridge film would be. My head actually hurt from laughter by the end.

    Funniest film I've seen in the cinema since South Park in 1999.
