What sets it apart
May contain story progression spoilers
Dave Fishwick confronts payday lenders while championing community interests and opposing predatory lending.
The film combines Dave's flamboyant persona with a clear greed-is-bad message and an approachable comic-drama register.
Dave is defined by his roots, his fortune from selling vans and minibuses, and his commitment to people in his community.
The follow-up explicitly shifts Dave's adversary from earlier banking obstacles to payday lenders described as more dangerous.
