Synopsis:

From IMDb: “When famous DJ Alan Partridge’s radio station is taken over by a new media conglomerate, it sets in motion a chain of events which see Alan having to work with the police to defuse a potentially violent siege.”

Poster: C+ / C

Review: Both posters share the same motif. One is a teaser design, the other adds the titular hero. Neither are particularly inventive or exciting, though the first one has a decided advantage in terms of appeal to a wide audience.

Trailer: B

Review: The trailer is definitely amusing, but it doesn’t effectively portray Alan Partridge as a particularly unlikable person, which is supposed to be the initial impetus to move the story along. It works, but it could have been a lot more effective.

Oscar Prospects:

None.
