Three Day Millionaire

Went in blind to see Three Day Millionaire , as a lifelong Grimsby resident , unsure of how my town would be portrayed.

( Usually Grimsby is let down in and by most media )

It was brilliant ! Go see it !

Showed how our trawlermen & fishing industry have been lost .

A locations where real and the characters amusing, it was really entertaining , went with two friends we all loved it !

Would recommend to all Grimsby adults , it tells our recent history of the loss of our fishing industry.

In an easy up to date way for all to see and understand Grimsby's history.

Hope the whole country sees it !

Brilliantly funny film and a lovely portrait of a very proud town. Lots of rising talent both on and off screen with the director Jack Spring, well worth a watch if you're from Grimsby or anywhere else.

Colin Mooney was great as he worked with a lot of unknown talent who I'm sure won't stay unknown for long.

Jack Spring is an up and coming director who has a bright future ahead of him!

It was nice to learn more about a town I personally don't have much knowledge of. This is a very fair representation of a lot of towns in England and the film gets this across well and at the same time makes us laugh, definitely watch!!!

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!

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.
