Fisherman's Friends: One and All

A vessel for promoting some lovely Cornish scenery. That's all it is. If you want an intelligent story with unique twists and suspense then it's a good job you will be stuck on the A303 getting to see it. This is a painfully predictable film with a story so lazy it is a little insulting.

There are some likeable characters and some credible acting talent. But this project was created for the sake of it. There was never an intention to create a real film here. Just another transactional activity aimed at earning a few pounds £.

Every scene, whilst pretty, just collided into the next. The story develops at a rapid pace, ignoring the need for logic or feeling. It just wants to go from A to B and doesn't care how little sense it makes or what well trodden cliches it spews out.

This is a Sunday TV movie at best. With the rain pouring down outside and the family isolating from the next plague.

I hope that it helps to promote Cornwall because it really is a lovely place to visit. Even without the massive CGI sunsets.

I loved the first one, I'm 35 and it's not my genre of music or movie but I loved it, was one of the last I watched with my uncle before he passed.

I think either people are desperate to point score or it was written in to every contract for British film and tv that they have to acknowledge all this PC rubbish of this generation who want change without any work or changing themselves to be better people. It was so unnecessary in so many ways, I heard audible groans in the audience, people are so sick of it. It's creating a theme of good people hating on something that should be good, anyway it added to nothing and took some of the magic away.

The storyline was pointless really, they've aged a bit and now the guy thinks they're past it so won't give them a new deal, there's acknowledgment of a death In the group and a forced love angle where the couple had no chemistry. Plus an angle where a fisherman hates a farmer because I guess that's a thing. There was no magic, no natural innocence or excitement , it felt unnecessary, uninteresting and uninspired.

The thing is now there's so many remakes, sequels or spin offs I'm not sure the film industry can actually make as many top tier films.

The acting was alright, pretty bland, bar 2 or 3 the names you won't remember, some don't even speak! The Glastonbury stuff was awfully filmed and executed. Then there's the last song, dear god I just felt ashamed thinking of some group of imbeciles sitting patting themselves on the back for calling the final song "union of different colours" even though they sing the lyric as "kinds"

I don't understand why they think forcing it into everything will fix the ignorant, they're a bad kinda people who won't be taught easily.

The film lacked what made the first a solid 8.5/9. Music was good, that's the only thing stopping it from going to a 2.

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.

I think this film knows it's audience and caters to them well. It is almost like comfort food in a movie.

It's just a bit of a shame the script wasn't a bit better. Everything is just so predictable throughout the film and there seem to be plenty of storylines that don't really go anywhere.

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.
