About this deal

FISHERMAN’S FRIENDS: ONE AND ALL charts the next instalment of the Fisherman’s Friends amazing and uplifting true‐story. Following the unexpected success of their debut album “No Hopers, Jokers and Rogues” we rejoin the world’s oldest ‘buoy band’ a year later struggling to navigate the pressures, pitfalls and temptations of their newfound fame. FISHERMAN’S FRIENDS: ONE AND ALL follows the celebrated shanty singers through the highs and lows as lifelong friendships are put to the test and they battle the dreaded ‘curse of the second album’. The film about the real-life Cornish sea shanty group The Fisherman's Friends is set to return to the big screen in 2022. The sequel to the 2019 hit UK comedy charts the next installment of the Fisherman's Friends uplifting true-story. Following the unexpected success of the band's debut album "No Hopers, Jokers and Rogues" we re-join them almost a year later, struggling with the pressures, pitfalls and temptations of their newfound fame. FISHERMAN'S FRIENDS ONE AND ALL continues the journey with the loveable 'buoy band', as they navigate the choppy waters of fame, second album syndrome, and performing on the pyramid stage at Glastonbury. On Friday 2nd September, FISHERMAN’S FRIENDS: ONE AND ALL, the highly anticipated sequel to the beloved 2019 uplifting comedy hit, sails into cinemas across the UK and Ireland. However, accompanying the singing is a plot which has surface-level detail at best. They’re about to put out a second album, which Universal Music’s Leah Jordan ( Jade Anouka) is trying to help promote, while boss Jez Chandra ( Ramon Tikaram) is indifferent about them, during which Jim’s depression-led drinking doesn’t help matters and might just derail the whole project.

The Fisherman's Friends sequel film will continue following the now highly successful sea shanty crew as they handle their new-found fame. The film will tell the story of the release of their second album and their debut on the Pyramid Stage at Glastonbury Festival. The British comedy drama stars James Purefoy, Imelda May, David Hayman, Dave Johns, Jade Anouka, Ramon Tikaram, Fiona Button, Sam Swainsbury, Richard Harrington and Maggie Steed. The Fisherman's Friends sequel finally has a release date. The first film, which followed a group of shanty singers in Port Isaac, starring Daniel Mays, Tuppence Middleton and James Purefoy, was released in 2019. Fisherman’s Friends 2: Fish Harder… sorry, Fisherman’s Friends 2: One and All, which feels like rather a mouthful and which doesn’t quite scan, but on watching this overlong film, I understood it’s a Cornish motto, and basically the same as The Three Musketeers’ “One for all and all for one”. Also, there’s a very brief close-up on a boat labelled the Port Isaac Shuttle Service, the initials in capitals to highlight “PISS”. According to Latitude 50, there is a service by that name, but given that it’s for getting about the village, it sounds more like a road-based one rather than sea.

His Mum, Maggie ( Maggie Steed), runs a B&B in which they both live, and coming to stay early on, is washed-up singer-songwriter Aubrey Flynn (singer-songwriter Imelda May). Jim and Aubrey get on like two peas in completely different pods, so you can imagine how things will go from there. And while I know the original band ended up at the Pyramid Stage in Glastonbury in 2011, they attempt to recreate this here with long shots of the band on stage, and bad CGI adding the cast’s faces to the screens by the side. Any close-up shots of the band, only show a handful of audience members. Okay, so it’s not going to be the done thing to take up time on a busy weekend to shoot one scene from a film at the REAL Glastonbury, as that could take up the entire afternoon, but it still adds to the feel of this whole production that it’s rather half-assed.

If you don’t already own the first film then there’s a Fisherman’s Friends 1 & 2 boxset also coming out on the same day. Following the death of Jago ( David Hayman), the sea-shanty band are looking for a new member to join them – enter Morgan Jenkins ( Richard Harrington), and Jim ( James Purefoy– Momentum) isn’t finding any of this easy to deal with, frequently talking to his Dad, leading to Hayman appearing onscreen at the appropriate times. I get this, as I would still frequently talk to my Dad after he died in 2015, and even today, there are still times when I’ll think about something, and imagine how he would react. However, I quite enjoyed the ‘media training’ session led by Petra ( Fiona Button), where the politically incorrect Leadville is shown the error of his ways, even if the entire group experience comes across like an Alcoholics Anonymous meeting.Daniel Mays, Tuppence Middleton and Noel Clarke will not be returning, despite appearing in the first film. In April 2021, it was revealed that filming had begun on a sequel to the 2019 film Fisherman's Friends. It had been scheduled to shoot in summer 2020, but was forced to delay due to the Covid-19 pandemic. Inspired by the story of Fisherman’s Friends, who rose to fame performing on the harbour in their native Port Isaac in Cornwall, the band are widely credited with starting the revival of interest in shanty-style choral singing, a pop-culture phenomenon in recent years.

Richard Harrington, Ramon Tikaram and Joshua Maguire will join the cast, as well as singer-songwriter Imelda May, who is making her acting debut. As a couple of asides, the screening I saw had subtitles, which actually helped, because – and I don’t know if this is always the case or just on the screening I saw – the dialogue was rather muffled at times. The sequel to 2019’s Fisherman’s Friends, Fisherman’s Friends One and All (2022) is coming to both Blu-ray and DVD this November in the UK. FISHERMAN’S FRIENDS: ONE AND ALL is released in cinemas nationwide by Entertainment Film Distributors on 2 nd September 2022. Overall, Fisherman’s Friends 2: One and All is too long, and with at least one or two unnecessary subplots that could easily be trimmed out – for example, one being where Jim’s mum has had an accident and is in need of assistance, and he now thinks that since his Dad has passed away, his Mum might also.

James Purefoy reprises the role of Jim, with other returning cast members including Maggie Steed, Dave Johns, Sam Swainsbury, Jade Anouka and David Hayman. New faces in Port Isaac include Richard Harrington as the new band member Morgan, Ramon Tikaram, Joshua McGuire and introducing Irish singer-songwriter Imelda May, in her debut acting role. Fisherman’s Friends One and All releases on 7 November 2022 in the UK. Fisherman’s Friends 1 & 2 Boxset – Blu-ray & DVD
