Fisherman’s Friends Movie Review: A London music executive, Danny (Daniel Mays), heads to a remote Cornish village on a stag weekend. Towards the end of the weekend, his boss pranks him into trying to sign a group of shanty singing fishermen (led by James Purefoy). Danny soon becomes the ultimate fish out of water. He really struggles to gain the respect or enthusiasm of the unlikely boy band and their families (including Tuppence Middleton). First and foremost, the locals value friendship and community over fame and fortune. And so, Danny learns about the traditional way of life he must re-evaluate his own integrity and ultimately question what success really means.
