"Fisherman's Friends"

 This movie will put a smile on your face and keep you in a good mood for days. In it, a group of London record execs visit Cornwall for their bachelor party. While there, they encounter a group of fishermen who get together to sing shanties, or traditional folk songs in their local pub. They jokingly assign one of the gang to sign the group to a recording contract and leave him behind. This is one of those rare uplifting movies where almost nothing goes wrong. It reminded me a bit of "Brassed Off", another film worth watching. The scenery, acting, writing, and singing are all first rate, And to me, the biggest surprise at the end of the movie was that it's a true story! 

4.5 out of 5 stars
