Three Day Millionaire

Enjoyable flick but if you've seen an episode of Brassic on Sky then you've seen it before. Filled with similar characters- the nice but educationally challenged types, rogues with a heart, with the usual generic nick names Curly, Budgie etc. Still worth a watch for free on Netflix though. Good to see Grimsby as the focal point for all the antics rather than London or Manchester, and you get the right feeling of how tough times are lin these small fishing towns. Acting was of a decent quality and they managed to give enough back story characterisation for a 90 odd minute film, so recommended none the less.

The classic saying Three Day Millionaire goes back to the old trawlerman days who spent most of their lives living aboard trawler ships returning to cash in oh their haul of fish and and spend more or less every penny living to the nearest thing these men would ever experience of being a millionaire.

Living local myself in Hull I found this film highly enjoyable a dark comedy that didn't fail to have the audience in laughter.

Hull like Grimsby relied heavily upon the fishing industry in the years gone by.

The film was written beautifully with a Guy Richie feel to it, there was a lot crammed into this movie but people should remember these small British film companies have nowhere near the budget of well established Film production firms camera shooting was excellent and the main cast all did a fantastic job I am sure we will be seeing a lot more of the lesser known actors/actresses in this movie.

I would highly recommend watching this movie!

A massively lacklustre and stereotypical attempt to copy what's been done far better in the past. Assume only the cast have rated it so far given marks of 10 (I mean seriously, according to the user reviews it's more accomplished than Ben Hur). It's a lazy 4 at the very best. Script and delivery isn't slick enough for what it's trying to achieve and the lead characters overact and don't have the style or gravitas to pull off their roles. Got bored after about 20 minutes.

Wouldn't recommend unless you know Grimsby and perhaps enjoy recognising landmarks or can link to the history in some way. Or love ships / fish.

Witty comedy about local people in a local town. Top top film. The characters resembled such a relatable youthfulness that everyone can connect with, and their passion and pride for their home is something that everyone feels about where they're from. The plot was very easy to follow and the comedy balanced with the heightened level of seriousness was found in the perfect moments. The brotherhood between the three main characters was very evident and helped the audience get behind the boys from start to finish, with everyone feeling like they could see a bit of themselves in these boys. The direction and shooting of the film is also beautiful and showed Grimsby off to the world as more than the stereotypical way people think of it. Great film!

I thoroughly enjoyed watching this film. It's not my usual choice of film, but I was very pleasantly surprised with how much I enjoyed it.

The leading characters were rich and had interesting backstories. The actors really took me on a journey and I was completely invested in them.

Having not grown up in England, I found the concept of the Three Day Millionaires really fascinating and personally thought that many of the themes and social commentaries were relatable to most traditional English towns and villages.

I thought that the film had a really heartwarming and beautiful community spirit too. I absolutely loved the cinematography, director's style and music. Thank you Jack and the Three Day Millionaire cast and crew.
