Synopsis

A fast-living, cynical London music executive (Danny Mays) heads to a remote Cornish village on a stag weekend where he’s pranked by his boss (Noel Clarke) into trying to sign a group of shanty singing fishermen (led by James Purefoy). He becomes the ultimate ‘fish out of water’ as he struggles to gain the respect or enthusiasm of the unlikely boy band and their families (including Tuppence Middleton) who value friendship and community over fame and fortune. As he’s drawn deeper into the traditional way of life he’s forced to re-evaluate his own integrity and ultimately question what success really means.

Critics Views

“This gentle, sweet-natured comedy has warmth and a certain X factor of likability, helped by big-hearted performances from a cast including Daniel Mays and Tuppence Middleton.” The Guardian

“Fisherman’s Friends is a formulaic but thoroughly amiable and upbeat British comedy with a flavour of Ealing Studios and The Full Monty about it.” The Independent

“Fisherman’s Friends is a nice cosy watch, despite its predictability and clichéd nature. It’s not a film that’s going to take the world by storm by any stretch of the imagination, but if you want to watch a pleasant, feel-good film that passes the time perfectly fine and leaves you with a smile on your face, this will give that experience” Vulture Hound Magazine
