    Looks a bit weak alright but I'll still go to see it. Michael is looking mad old now.

    I genuinely think the trailer looks great. Shows too much plot which is standard now but I can't wait for it.

    Looks okay,his voice sounds so different these days compared to I'm Alan Partridge.

    Michael looks ancient,Lynn's looking well for a badger.

    "It's soft rock and cocaine enthusiasts Fleetwood Mac"

    I'm going to see it. I'm just glad they didn't send him on holiday somewhere.

    Reading that, in the Alan voice that I know, I lol'd but for some reason it doesn't have the same impact in the trailer.

    I thought that line was very funny. The best comedy is merely when the truth is pointed out.

    So.... you're saying I'm funnier than Steve Coogan?

    Cheers dude.

    The trailer didn't leave me rolling in the aisles, but I chuckled enough to think it could be a good 'un. Seemed like a trailer trying to set up its concept, rather than chucking all the best gags into a 2-minute window, which many a Hollywood trailer is guilty of.

    And hey, as mentioned already, at least the film doesn't have Partridge going abroad on a flipping holiday.

    It looks hotter than the sun


    Won't mind sitting out this out until DVD tbh, but look forward to seeing it, which to be fair, is a mixed bag

    Flatley my dear, I don't Riverdance - give a damn

    I don't think the Partridge humour is naturally suited to a bite-sized trailer. Anyone who doesn't know Partridge wouldn't appreciate the quotes in this thread, for example. They shouldn't be funny, let alone ruddy funny.

    The right people are behind this. The right people are in this. It'll work.

    looks weak, done in a hurry i think..as a TV special it would be more suited other than a cinema release

    nope, i would have liked a scenario of him coming on holiday to Ireland maybe Belfast and unwittingly wandering into a republican pub and saying offensive things about the irish and as a result has to go on the run in fear of his life:pac:

    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.
