Fisherman's Friends: film review

From the poster and the premise, I wouldn't have thought I'd like this film very much but it wins you over, striking notes of authenticity and chords of harmony as it chugs along, a reliable, redoubtable small boat of a British movie, powered by a charming couple, raucous shanties and buckets of fresh fish.

Fisherman's Friends review

Inspired by a true story, this warm-hearted tale of a singing group from Cornwall is likable, if goofy.

Fisherman's Friends review

It's a feel-good charmer set in rural Port Isaac, with a witty British - or rather Cornish - sense of humour and a selection of sea shanties along the way.

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.
