Fisherman's Friends: One and All

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.

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!

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 wasn't the biggest fan of the first movie, watchable but boring... Maybe a 4 or 5 out of 10; but my partner liked it and there wasn't much to choose from at the cinema this weekend so I reluctantly agreed to go with him. I entered the theatre with low expectations...

Boy was I pleasantly surprised! Yes, it's not blockbuster movie, nor worthy of an Oscar (most Oscar winners are overrated guff anyway) and a couple of the supporting cast members are very poor in regards to their acting talent.

BUUUTTTT overall it's enjoyable, heart warming and you leave with a smile on your face.

Worth a watch for sure, and believable or not, it is actually a true story.

Continuation of an excellent film in which we once again follow the life of interesting and entertaining characters.

James Purefoy is absolutely brilliant in the role of Jim, easily transforming into the role of a bitter, but actually good-natured character who has a hard time coming to terms with his loss and turns to alcohol.

We follow his progression towards the realization that life simply goes on and that he has to come to terms with some things.

Some new characters appear and they are an excellent addition to the already well-known actors of this story. The film is different from most of today's films because it does not bore us with the usual lessons, but wants to entertain us and show us people with their flaws and virtues.

This is, after all, a movie that actually deals with normal people and their lives, who sometimes find themselves in unusual situations.

An interesting and entertaining continuation of the story about friends who found themselves in a position to become famous, but did not lose the most valuable thing, which is humanity and dignity.

Definitely a movie worth watching.
