Dull sequel that replaces the original's moderate charm with dank, arrogant, miserable, smugness
13 January 2023
"Fisherman's Friends: One And All" is sequel to 2019 true-tale Brit dramedy "Fisherman's Friends" about the titular Cornish folk singer troupe inc James Purefoy, Dave Johns, David Hayman (posthumously) & new addition Richard Harrington. Despite Chris Foggin directing some beautiful scenery shots, and nice supports from Joshua McGuire & Maggie Steed, this melodrama replaces the original's moderate charm with a dank smugness, thanks mainly to Purefoy's dour misery & arrogance dominating it (Purefoy & returning writers (Piers Ashworth, Meg Leonard & Nick Moorcroft) screwed that aspect badly (and others)). Dull fare - for ardent sea shanty fans only. Flush.
