The film 'Mother's Pride' is a cinematic gem, a heartfelt tribute to the quintessential English pub experience, set in the picturesque rolling hills of Somerset. This movie, with its charming cast and captivating setting, offers a delightful escape from the mundane, inviting viewers to immerse themselves in a world of camaraderie and rustic charm. The film's production, however, faced a unique challenge: navigating the delicate balance between authenticity and the potential pitfalls of cider consumption. The cast, including Clunes and Buckley, shared their experiences, highlighting the joys and quirks of filming in such a captivating location. Clunes, embodying the role of the pub's owner, described the experience as a 'real joy', praising the 'glorious' summer and the beauty of the Somerset countryside. Buckley, equally enthralled, likened the village to a dream holiday destination, a sentiment that many can undoubtedly relate to. Yet, the allure of cider, a local specialty, presented a challenge. Buckley's admission of cider-induced heartburn and Clunes' self-imposed cider ban at home adds a layer of humor and realism to the narrative. The film's release on Friday marks a celebration of British culture and the enduring appeal of the pub, a timeless institution that continues to captivate audiences on both the big screen and in the hearts of those who cherish it.
