    lovely film
    Based on a true story, Fisherman's Friends tells the tale of a music exec from London (Daniel Mays) who winds up in Cornwall. He winds up making stars of a group of singing fishermen. Along the way, the music executive realizes what's important in life.

    Yes, a bit predictable, but it's a fun, warm film with plenty of atmosphere and excellent performances from Mays, David Hayman, Maggie Steed, James Purefoy Noel Clarke Tuppence Middleton, and the others.

    Not a special effects blockbuster with action stars, but good nonetheless.
