Saw this yesterday. It's just a gentle, escapist film - that takes your mind off your troubles for a couple of hours. It won't blow you away, but unless you've got a heart of stone, it should make you smile and maybe even cry. Some great lines - when the Londoners ask for four pints of lager in the village pub, the Cornish landlady replies 'There's no call for fizzy drinks at this time of year' ... which most of the audience missed but which made me laugh out loud and there were other comic gems in there too. Yes, it's a bit cliched, and yes the Cornish accents are a little OTT but having said that, on holiday in Cornwall in 2017, there really are pubs, villages and individuals like those in the film. It definitely captured the atmosphere of Cornwall, albeit a chocolate box version. Fabulous soundtrack too including one of my favourite bands of all time - The Waterboys!

So bein' Cornish an all, I'm so looking forward to this m'andsom 😁 for at least the decade that I know about, these guys have had such a good reputation around Cornwall. Just hope they don't overdo the Cornish accent. Lots of small Cornish business are involved in the filming of it which is great for the community too.
