Predictable But Fun British Comedy - Mother's Pride review by GI
A rather formulaic and thoroughly predictable British comedy from the same team that made Fisherman's Friends (2019), and here we have more of the same type of narrative. It's a film that seems rushed as issues get resolved with lightening speed with dollops of script loaded exposition hurtling towards the ending we all see coming from the first ten minutes. Here we have prodigal son and former pop star Cal (Jon Davies) returning to the failing Somerset village pub run by his grumpy Dad (Martin Clunes) and younger brother Jake (James Buckley). The village nasty is successful landlord and rival pub owner Pritchard (Luke Treadaway) and the film follows Cal's endeavours to brew an award winning beer while trying to win back his old girlfriend (Gabriella Wilde) from Pritchard. It's all very unpretentious, creates the quintessential and idyllic English village scenario and filled with characters such as Mark Addy's local drunk, Paxman. A film that is enjoyable but forgettable.
