Grimsby (2016)

How sad is this?

Highly Overrated But Still Good

Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.

All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

It doesn't totally collapse by the end, which is nice. Still, it does leave you with the impression that it could have been much more. Actually, the middle is the worst. It's not very funny or fun, some gags are pretty much just grose, not even interesting. One of the main problems is that the main villain, Penelope Cruz, while superbly cast ("she looks pretty and sweet, but she's just the worst"), isn't properly introduced or followed through. She also doesn't do a very good job, but, given what she had to work with, one can't really blame her.On the missed opportunities, at the very least it could have had more fun on the expense of the terrible "Fast&Furious" franchise. Ditto for "Harry Potter". What they did barely scratched the surface of what one could (should?) do. While poking fun on James Bond is nothing new, still, they could have done more on that front, too. One impersonation of Sean Connery's accent isn't enough.Story is significantly better than other Sasha Baron Cohen comedies, but, still, way too simplistic and naïve to be anything more than a framing device for the gags.There quite a few good jokes and gags, there's a good cameo by Annabelle Wallis, so, the whole thing is watchable, if you like Sasha Baron Cohen comedies. Otherwise, it's best you find some other spy-spoof comedy.

Cohen and Wilson at their finest. I mean.... they are definitely C-R-A-Z-Y. Crazier they could get dangerous. Of course this Sacha Baron Cohen movie is a 1st (very very very 1st) degree humor bunch of skits. Of course a few scenes ain't funny. Of course, it's gross. Of course it's ridiculous. Of course it's pathetic. So you better watch this outrageous movie with the eyes of a child or .... Or you'll be missing the point. Trust me rolling on the floor laughing is really harmful to health. I can't give more than 7 stars because of the elephants scene. LMFAO. Jesus they d-a-r-e-d

Everyone needs to laugh and this movie is hilarious!

I freaking loved this film. You will also love it if you like laughing at very very stupid things. You will absolutely hate it if you are easily offended.It is best to not know anything about this film before you watch it so I won't include any spoilers. I knew nothing about it other than the fact that it was a Sasha Baron Cohen thing - the man can do no wrong in my eyes so I suppose I was an easy audience. I did wonder if quite a lot of the jokes would be missed by an American audience though, but the fab action scenes are universally awesome.If you have had a bad day then simply watch this film and laugh away your troubles.
