If your looking for warm, underdog rising, light watch for an evening, this will tick the boxes. If you enjoy tight male harmonies and songs of the sea, this will be a delight. If you’re a fan of DOC MARTIN, you will love seeing Port Isaac as Port Hope. I found Daniel Mays a bit of a hard sell for a leading man but Tuppence Middleton would charm the sailors to the rocks (I’ve been a fan ever since SENSE8). Really enjoyed this on an evening when I didn’t need to think and I could just soak in the charm, the music and the view. I give this movie a 8 (very good) out of 10. [Light drama]

If you've watched Kinky Boots or Calendar Girls, you needn't waste your time with this sickeningly formulaic and twee movie which just doesn't feel genuine to me. I used to live in Cornwall, which doesn't often star in films (sadly, it's a beautiful and varied location with a fantastic potential for film) so one would think I might have liked it, but alas.

Like a beach town souvenir shop's music shelf with its ocean sounds and whale songs: you already know every cheesy moment you're in store for.

At the beginning of the movie, the young local woman bumps into the young obnoxious man visiting from the city and dislikes him intensely. In that instant, you know their whole story arc throughout the entire film. Every scene in the movie is exactly like this.

This (based on a true) story of proud, Cornish fishermen who sing sea shanties is as genuine as the cast is Cornish. (Spoiler Alert: none of the cast is Cornish.)

Am not a fan of sea shantys - they come just behind brass band music and bagpipes in my list of musical turnoffs - but this is still a fairly pleasant, albeit predictable tale that is a reasonably okay watch.
