Ron M Apr 13, 2019 Riky GErvais has had an odd career and this does nothing to alter that opinion. IT must have sounded a good idea: 2 guys from a radio station get sent to cover a war in Ecuador but call in their reports from a room opposite the station. Then they have to get there to be set free... that was probably the last time it was actually funny. See more

Rey P Nov 29, 2018 I've watched this numerous times. It makes me laugh every time. I think the reviews are unfair, which is what is leading me to write a review. Objectively, The characters are not feeble. In fact both main characters are shown to grow in a positive way throughout the film. It's a great story told brilliantly. I found Gervais' unique take on the media an interesting idea throughout the first part of the film. Subjectively, I am a long time fan of Gervais' work, and I was glad to see a lot of observations from the podcast days and from his standup work. See more

Theodore S Nov 10, 2018 Entertaining, and quite amusing at points. The plot - for being absurd, was quite certainly novel to me.

George R Oct 27, 2018 A radio journalist and his technician fake their own kidnapping during a rebel uprising in South America and instead hide out in New York. It's an amusing premise humorously realised in the hands of Ricky Gervais and Eric Bana (in return to his comedic origins). Although it starts slow, the story twists and turns to take the audience to some unexpected places which makes it an engaging enough film. See more

Luke L Sep 8, 2018 Ricky Gervais I never found that funny but his movies are watchable. Eric Bana was well cast in this smarmy reporter role. Vera Farmiga was terrific as the uncaring money obsessed wife of Gervais. Works ok for a while, but it got boring quickly particulary when they were spending so much time in the room. Then when they went to Ecuador for real the action started. This wont stay in the memory long. Special Correspondents is like a mix of some great ideas but the movie never makes it there. See more

Kylo W Mar 10, 2018 Correspondents isn't the most memorable comedy, but Gervais and Bana make a good duo. With Gervais writing and directing, we expected more shock factor, but a subdued Gervais is better than no Gervais. See more
