sweary but warm tale of singing fishermen is one to catch; There are few surprises in "Fisherman's Friends" but it serves up a solid collection of comedic and dramatic situations that always land, resulting in a satisfying watch
inspired by a true story, this warm-hearted tale of a singing group is likable; 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
Daniel Mays and Tuppence Middleton generate good chemistry and it has its heart in the right place. But the overall feeling is of a missed opportunity. The cheery true-life story deserved better
a jaded formula and hoary cliches slowly strangle the goodness out of this sweet and cuddly true-life tale of Cornish fishermen turned chart-topping pop stars
a film that is big on charm, but fails to engage fully; Tonally, the film can't quite decide where it wants to take the story, but on the whole we soon find ourselves more than happy to plod along to this ludicrous, yet utterly charming story
"Fisherman's Friends" is a heartfelt film with moments of peace, comedy, and musical joy; It's a beautiful film with memorable musical moments, which help build the heartwarming journeys of each and every character
