Three Day Millionaire is a rollicking black comedy straight from the rain-soaked northern fish docks of Grimsby. It follows a thrill-seeking young fisherman and his pals looking to party hard for three days straight before their world, and Grimsby's lifeblood, comes to a staggering halt.

What’s missing is a sense of what’s at stake – we never quite get a feeling for how desperate these men are, and for the most part they feel a bit too familiar from the Britcom playbook.

Rated: 2/5

The Upcoming

[Three Day Millionaire] positions itself as Guy Ritchie meets Ken Loach – but due to a messy script and some mixed messaging in the finale, Three Day Millionaire falls short of what it sets out to be.

Rated: 2/5

Same old same old, nothing new or funny. Passed the time. Main lead is good and hopefully has a good future.

I have given this movie two stars because it covers an area of the UK in serious need of investment - Grimsby. Everything else about the movie was terrible. Stereotype characters that could have come from Trainspotting or the Fully Monty. Overacting. And, a pretty poor story line. This is 135 minutes I won't get back.

The acting was almost hard to watch and the guy richly style was done terribly but the characters were likeable and the story was decent

It's not a Guy Ritchie flick, but it tries mimicking one… poorly. Poorly scripted, and with no real sense of what it would actually mean to anyone if everything works out/doesn't work out, it all feels a little pointless, and empty

This movie had its flaws, but it was a good story, was genuinely funny in places, and had a truth and grit to it that schmaltz like Brassed Off and Billy Elliot never reach. Despite the upbeat warm comedy conventions of the movie, and a cheat around the ending, there is real grit here. Something comes over of what it must feel like to come from an underprivileged coastal town like Grimsby. That's a very good, very rare thing these days. Sacha Baron Cohen's Grimsby was more scabrous, but it was essentially a lie from an outsider, and had a generic 'Northerners are thick' thing going on. This 3 Day Millionaire feels much more real, way more true - and is very lovable as a result.

Rated 5 out of 5 stars
