Alan Partridge: Alpha
Papa (2013)
Directed by Declan
Lowney this film based on the television series of the title
character stars Steve Coogan, Colm Meaney and Felicity Montagu. A
small time local radio host with an ego and aspirations beyond his
station finds himself the centre of a hostage crisis.
Taking a television
character to the big screen is not easy but it works well here and
the film is amusing through out. The story has a few digs at the
direction of modern radio while providing plenty of laughs and
cringes at the protagonist. While the end result is not very
“cinematic” it does work in a longer version.
4/5
