Saw the 2019 film 3 Years Ago & thought it was a pretty good film. Then, out of nowhere, this film comes along. Having heard zilch about this film, & only discovering it a few days ago via the Odeon Website, I thought to book a ticket as I liked the first & was curious as to how this one would fare. To say it fared not so good, would be an understatement...
The film sees aftermath of the Fisherman's Friends Band after they preformed on the pyramid stage at Glastonbury. Unfortunately though, the group struggle with their second Album. With a tour in South Australia on the go, the group will trace their ancestors and embrace a new community, and discover their musical DNA.
I found the film to be pretty mundane in comparison to it's 2019 predecessor. I mean, the music & the scenery were great, bu the film just felt totally unneeded. What I think ruined the film was the modern snipes aimed against men, sorry not sorry, but it has to be mentioned & for me, was an annoying let down. We can't have a film nowadays that leaves that drivel out can we? The part with the rehab session with something regarding "MaLe OpPrEsSiOn" really got on my nerves. But hey, it's 2022, we live in that day & age where Hollywood has that obsession to add that drivel in for good measure I suppose... *Rolls Eyes*
Aside from that, the film had a plot that seemed out there. I mean, it wasn't bad, but, seriously, it could've used some work. The film itself was long & drawn out at 1 hour & 44 minutes, The drama scenes were nice, but, honestly, I would've preferred more band playing than that personally.
Overall, it's an unneeded sequel with modern day snipes added to ruin it further as if the film itself didn't have more of a reason to feel unneeded already. While the music & the bands performance is good, the plot is too thin with the pacing & runtime being poor, long, sluggish, to justify the films existence.
3/10.
