Bullseyes: ④ (out of 5)
North American’s struggle to ‘get’ Steve Coogan. Philamena aside, his
previous movies have never done that well. That may be because they weren’t
much good but it’s still a shame.
I grew up watching Steve Coogan’s satirical
TV Chat show, ‘Knowing Me Knowing You’, where he showcased the smarmy,
egotistical Partridge who berated, and even shot, his guests and eventually
nattered his way onto the lowest rung of the media ladder - local radio.
Alan Partridge the movie features North Norfolk Digital’s smooth as
sandpaper host acting as a hostage negotiator during a studio standoff. Given Partridge’s
crass and tactless interview style it’s not surprising he fails to tackle this
delicate task, well – delicately.
