Based on a true-ish story -- two years after founding Britain's very first community bank, Dave Fishwick takes on an even more dangerous and formidable opponent than the big banks -- Payday Loan Companies. Dave recruits Jessica, an American investigative reporter, and Oliver, a local Citizen's Advice counsellor, to his cause. Together they embark on a journey that will eventually take them to the United States and help bring down an entire industry of predatory corporations.

It’s like the real story’s been passed through the filter of the child who tells his classmates he fought a dragon at the weekend. What’s most frustrating is that it doesn’t need to do this.

While it remains likable enough, “The Loan Ranger” spends too much time away from its core message on monetary dangers, missing the overall educational value of the 2023 release.

Bank of Dave 2 feels even more stale than it's weak predecessor. There is barely any charm on display and that's what this movie is built on. I could barely get through it.

Cheesy and banal in equal measure. Folk hero Dave Fishwick is overplayed to such an extent he's a parody, and the court proceedings are facile in the extreme. I could go on. Feelgood films are one thing, but they only work if they're believable and retain some shred of credibility, especially if 'based on a true(-ish) story', as this is. Lazy and laughable, and not in a good way.

Lazy follow up on original that pretty much uses the same formula. Great story, but characters this time around not as believable and not really that interesting.
