Subject: RE: Fisherman's Friends. The Film.
Any film about traditional music and song is welcome and I enjoyed it. Full marks for authenticity in locations, but I’m not sure why they skirted around the real tragedies that the Group have experienced and invented other fictional stuff instead. The script is rather weak, in its reliance on cliche dialogue in places, plus the predictable Romcom formula for the two leads (inauspicious meeting, attraction, separation, reconciliation), and it would have been good to have had folk music as the incidental music and not acoustic pop songs. However, I guess that’s just me being picky, so don’t be put off going to see it. As for product placement, they’ve certainly done a proper job for St. Austell ales.
