“Brilliant” Cornwall-set comedy-drama with Martin Clunes is now available to watch at home

by

Fans of Martin Clunes (known for Doc Martin) can now enjoy his latest film at home. This heartwarming and funny story, written and directed by Nick Moorcroft, is set in the West Country and follows a family who own a pub that’s fallen on hard times. They decide to try and revive their fortunes – and their spirits – by entering the Great British Beer Awards.

Written with Meg Leonard, Mother’s Pride features Martin Clunes as the patriarch of the Harley family and Jonno Davies as his returning son. Their reunion isn’t easy, and the father and son quickly face challenges.

Okay, so the movie is finally out for us to buy digitally! I checked, and it’s £13.99 on both Amazon and Apple TV. Sadly, you can’t rent it right now, you gotta buy it if you want to watch it at home.

Critics weren’t impressed with Mother’s Pride after it came out in March. Reviews on Rotten Tomatoes were mostly negative, with Empire calling it a dull, uninspired story – like a flat beer – and The Guardian describing it as bland and unmemorable.

Despite any potential flaws, audiences really enjoyed the film’s blend of humor and emotional depth. Letterboxd users described it as both touching and excellent.
