Fisherman's Friends

Great movie for the whole family to enjoy.

Very enjoyable, feel good film, based on a true story.

Better than its sequel. Came quickly, was as expected

The film, a true story though clearly tailored for entertainment tells of how in 2010 a group of ten Cornish locals based in Port Isaac, Cornwall, are despite their reservations persuaded to record a demo album in the vain hope of getting a recording contract.On a reluctant trip to Cornwall for a stag-weekend, Danny (Daniel Mays) hears a group of locals performing for their friends and indeed tourists at the head of the beach at Port Isaac and was immediately taken with the music they were singing, so much so, he believed that the sound could be commercial despite the average age of the singers.He mentioned it to his boss who'd travelled with him and was told to try and sign them up, however, turns out that Danny was being wound-up by those that had travelled to Cornwall with him, they didn't see the band being of commercial appeal.However, Danny does and will do everything he can to get the Fisherman's Friends a deal.With romance in the air for Danny with band member Jim's (James Purefoy) daughter Alwyn (Tuppence Middleton)A delightful film with delightful settings that'll have you both singing-along and often laughing.A genuine feel-good movie....give it a spin.The group formed back in 1995, mainly with fishermen and lifeguards from the Port Isaac area, they were shot to national fame when music producer Rupert Cristie and DJ Johnny Walker came across them leading to a healthy contract to record albums for Universal Music 2010 (Did invest in the group's first couple myself))They sang folk favourites and of course sea shanties.i myself lived in Cornwall for 5 years (late 80's to early '90s) because of my work and was able to visit the charming Atlantic-Coast North Cornwall village several times.Back then you could park on the beach when the tide was out, not sure one can these days.(Of course, the TV series Doc Martin is filmed in Port Isaac)

A really good feel good film with great, rousing songs.

A great film about how the Fisherman's Friends became famous. Interesting and some great songs.

This is a great film of a true story. Has that feel good about it.

This film is amazing, definitely recommend
