Fisherman's Friends Ratings & Reviews
Keith & the Movies
Keith Garlington
With its irresistible mix of feel-good vibes, infectious musical numbers, great rapport, and playful humor, "Fisherman's Friends" makes the formulaic storytelling pretty easy to overlook.
Pauline Media Studies
Hosea Rupprecht
If you decide to have the pleasure of watching the film, once you know about Fisherman's Friends and their incredible story, I bet you'll do the same thing I did: go on YouTube and watch as many of their music videos as possible.

Nick Allen
The film wants to be as amiable as a drunken singalong, but it's too pushy to make you want to join in.

[T]here's almost enough here to elevate it above the formulaic story...
eFilmCritic.com
Peter Sobczynski
Granted, there are some viewers who might find such overt familiarity to be relaxing but I just found its blatant attempt to replicate the "Full Monty" formula for winsome quirkiness to be more enervating than entertaining.
Film Threat
Alan Ng
I recommend Fisherman's Friends for its marvelous soundtrack, and it's a feel-good story.
New York Times
Glenn Kenny
Between predictable, commonplace plot turns and characterizations of music business types that are even more obnoxious than the norm, the movie's straining for effect is less than ingratiating.
Blu-ray.com
Brian Orndorf
A few laughs, an engaged cast, and big, clear vocal performances, which help to distract from a connect-the-dots screenplay.
Elements of Madness
Douglas Davidson
... a sort of reimagining of the origins of the Port Isaac, Cornwall, UK-based band and a charming, toe-tapping feature that's sure to please and send you running to the internet to track down more music from this joyous group.
The Weekend Warrior (Substack)
Edward Douglas
If you like sea shanties and you are a woman over 60 (or have a mother that age) then [this] is a cute but never particularly hilarious British comedy that tries to be The Full Monty.
Kaplan vs. Kaplan
Jeanne Kaplan
Even if sea shanties aren't your favorite, the voices and the harmony make FISHERMAN'S FRIENDS a worthwhile experience.
Kaplan vs. Kaplan
David Kaplan
As viewers we connect with these folks and want them to achieve their dream. It is a charming and rewarding experience.
The Film Stage
Jared Mobarak
[The cast has] willingly embraced the clichés to honor a story brimming with the kind of hope we need currently and it's worth following their lead.
Reeling Reviews
Laura Clifford
Writers...employ the much-used "Local Hero" template for their fictionalized true story and yet director Chris Foggin, blessed with a strong cast, keeps the twee at bay with genuine good heart and strong characterizations.
Slant Magazine
Mark Jenkins
The script doesn't contain many lines that ring true, and a few clang wildly off-key.
SSG Syndicate
Susan Granger
A charming, uplifting rom-com with a surprising emotional wallop...a salty, gentle gem that's filled with engaging sea shanties.
Film Inquiry
Amanda Mazzillo
Fisherman's Friends is a heartfelt film with moments of peace, comedy, and musical joy.
Cinemalogue
Todd Jorgenson
Putting the corn in Cornwall, this innocuous British crowd-pleaser mixes quirks and sentiment with an off-key predictability.
Common Sense Media
Tom Cassidy
Sweary but warm tale of singing fishermen is one to catch.
Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews
Dennis Schwartz
It never reaches greater heights than the level of a television sitcom.
