Recommandations
- 80
Variety
A scissor-sharp comedy of ineptitude and failure. - 80
Total Film
Smartly executed, endlessly quotable and machine-gun quick, this is one of the funniest films of 2013. Accessible for Partridge novices and hugely rewarding for the faithful. - 80
The Guardian
The genius of Alpha Papa, then, is in remaining faithful to Partridge's small-screen soul while also managing the demands of a big-screen Alan. - 80
Empire
Ruddy hilarious. Just what big-screen comedy needed. - 75
McClatchy-Tribune News Service
It’s a comedy of sight gags, zingers and awkward pauses — lots of those. Sentimental at times, yes. But funny. Always. - 62
Film.com
Not many side-splitting jokes, but a goofy glee is smeared across it all. - 60
The Telegraph
Alpha Papa’s biggest laughs explode from moments of pure inconsequence. - 60
Time Out London
The film has plenty to recommend it, thanks to a string of memorable one-liners and Coogan’s unmatched knack for skin-crawling physical comedy. But this is a long way from the back-of-the-net strike it should have been.
