Netflix on the cover of a movie is starting to be a warning not to see the movie. seriously.

Being a Ricky Gervais fan it pains me to say that this was pretty awful. Politically insensitive, lazily scripted, badly directed, terribly acted, this has almost no positives. I hope Gervais' return to his David Brent character in his next movie will be better than this!

Worst job of Gervais for sure. Really bad and flat with no story no oneliners no fun no nothing.

Everyone who's commented has left negative reviews... I enjoyed the film. I reckon it's worth watching just based on that. 8/10 for me :)

A radio correspondent (Eric Bana) and his technician (Ricky Gervais) lose their passports, so decide to stage a report from ‘Ecuador’ while actually being above a bar in New York.

The phrase “If you don’t have anything good to say, don’t say anything” comes to mind. I’ll break the rule here, but I’ll keep it short since there are no redeeming features to Special Correspondents. The writing is first-draft level stuff, the characters are paper thin and the story is so contrived it actually makes you a bit angry. At no point is it funny or witty.

There are hints of satire, with gentle prods at the gullibility of the media and the public in general, but nothing ever really hits home.

A real stinker from Gervais.

The amount of negative comments is completely unwarranted and makes me think that all these supposed “Ricky Gervais fans” who just really hated the movie are simply pretending to be fans to turn others off from watching the film. This is not a bad movie at all.

Sure, it’s not quite on Gervais’ usual level of comedy, but it’s a fun watch nonetheless. Not a boring moment in the film, compared to many dozens of praised blockbuster films that I struggled to even finish. 8/10 from me.

its a very light movie with some chuckles. dont expect anything special but if you like Gervais, you'll probable nod positively to this one. goes down the throat smoothly.

This has some pretty bad reviews . Fair enough its not as funny as Rickys sitcoms, but its a really good movie had me chuckling a few times. Eric bana is always Chopper to me though. i would say not gervais best work but well worth a watch 6/10.
