Show more >> If you're in the mood for a feel-good film, Fisherman's Friends: One and All hits the right notes, but don’t expect groundbreaking cinema. The film follows our favourite sea shanty group as they grapple with fame and the pressure to produce a second album. The characters are endearing, and the chemistry among the cast shines through, yet the plot feels a touch predictable. The music is infectious, and you’ll find yourself tapping your feet along with the shanties. However, some moments lack depth, and the film occasionally feels like it's treading water. Still, it’s a pleasant watch that celebrates friendship and the joys of music, perfect for a light-hearted evening. Show less
