Fisherman's Friends: One and All

I really enjoyed the first movie and though this one was as good maybe a even better . The main characters were excellent and you really felt a good connection to them and story , a good mixture of fun , tears and feel good . A great watch.

As with most new to the shelf productions this one is no different and has to contain whatever the current social engineering is.

The funny thing is that they were banging on about all the old band mates not being politically correct enough, and breaching women's rights by stereotyping them, when all along this movie is stereotyping Cornish people so it's a bit rich!

Apart from that it was barely watchable, with a cameo by Chris Evans and cringe-worthy scenes from the Island Records bash and main stage at Glasto.. I wouldn't recommend this film to anybody who cares anything about Cornwall or sea shanties!

Really liked the first film but this is even better. Funnier and more dramatic. Just the kind of feel-good movie we need in these dark times. Loved Imelda May and James Purefoy delivers a powerful and moving performance as Jim who is struggling with grief. Supporting cast are very funny and visually it looks amazing, definitely booking a holiday in Cornwall. Came out of the cinema with a big smile on my face feeling happier about the world.

This is a good movie - suitable for watching as a family or even when dating. It has light romance, light comedy, feel good results. Of course, the singing is really good. A bit clinche at times but overall pretty entertaining. The acting is good, scenery nice and humor entertainingly. I like the fact that they did not use super model figures as their male and female leads. The cast reflects regular folks and that contributed to the film being believable. Some parts are predictable but overall it's good entertainment and you feel happy having watched the movie. It is well paced too - not a dull moment.

A watchable but unremarkable sequel which covers a lot of the same ground as the first film and in a similar fashion. The story focuses more on the issues of the "lead" singer than the band and with weaker characters, some poor acting and nowhere near as much charm overall. There's enough humour, sea shanties and idyllic Cornish scenery to enjoy, but it wasn't particularly good or memorable.
