Brent is back. "The Return of Brent" is a 10-minute live action short film from 2013 and this one was written by Ricky Gervais. Here he brings back his character David Brent from the super-successful OK comedy "The Office. 10 years have passed and we see what Brent is up to now. he thinks that he is mentoring a young musician and tries to act as a figure of authority, but of course as usual with this character he really messes things up for his "protégé". Actually, he needs protection from Brent and this becomes very clear the longer the film goes. The approach to comedy is very similar to "The Office". I loved that show if I remember correctly and I don't really think there is any reason to bring back Brent with projects like this one or other, for example about him being a music teacher. So yeah, it's an okay watch, but far far below the quality of the original. I still give it a thumbs-up, but it's certainly not a must-see by any means, not even for people who love "The Office" as much as I do.
