A new assignment forces a top spy to team up with his football hooligan brother (www.imdb.com).
Director: Louis Leterrier (The Incredible Hulk, Clash of the Titans, Now You See Me)
Starring: Sacha Baron Cohen, Mark Strong, Isla Fisher, Penelope Cruz, Rebel Wilson, Ian McShane
Grimsby, for all the cringeworthy-ness in the world, is funny. There's no consistency, some jokes are subtle, others are trivial. Sacha Baron Cohen's work is least of all full of surprises. We know it's going to be crass, misogynistic and outrageous. His latest character Nobby, a hooligan from Grimsby, spends his time in an England football shirt and flip-flops, annoying his straight-laced brother Sebastian (Mark Strong), who counters his stupidity with an uptight seriousness. Sebastian's an Mi5 agent whose latest assignment gets disrupted by Nobby. Grimsby is fun for sure, but tires quickly, the 83 minutes running time feeling longer than it should.
2.5/5
