Robbie Collin Daily Telegraph (UK) Though the genre’s 1990s heyday is long gone, there is still a sizeable appetite for this sort of thing, as Bank of Dave’s success more than proves. But this is less Brassed Off than dashed off. Rated: 2/5 Jan 30, 2025 Full Review Killian Faith-Kelly GQ Magazine [UK] 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. Jan 16, 2025 Full Review Brian Orndorf Blu-ray.com 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. Rated: B- Jan 15, 2025 Full Review Read all reviews

James B A reasonable plot, written by a 5 year old, a naive five year old. Every scene is either ridiculous, or includes speeches which are solid exposition and robotic monologues. Painful to watch, rewatch anything else instead. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/31/25 Full Review paul l Very very disappointing. Cheesy and a difficult watch. A cringe worthy film. Terrible cliche ridden script. It looks like it was written by a child. The acting wooden and embarrassing especially Chrissy Metz . Unlike the original no humour. No charm. That’s 1hr 42 minutes that I will never get back.zzzz Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/30/25 Full Review Pauline T Light hearted film, with a feel good factor. Maybe appreciated more by a Northern viewer. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/28/25 Full Review Henry S 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. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 01/21/25 Full Review Joe J "feel good" to the point that I wanted to jump out the window Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/20/25 Full Review KEITH B 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. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/19/25 Full Review Read all reviews
