Review: Fisherman's Friends

Undemanding, cockle-warming British comedy inspired by a singing sensation.

Fisherman's Friends review

Anyone who's listened to the Fisherman's Friends, whether live or on the radio in the car, will know what a treat they are to listen to, and the film is a fine platform for their talents. The injection of a rather soppy romance and some drama about big businessmen buying a pub does distract, but when the film turns its focus solely on the titular musicians, it's a dead cert to entertain existing fans and win over plenty more.
