MI6's top assassin (Mark Strong) has a brother. Unfortunately for him, he's a football hooligan (Sacha Baron Cohen) from the town of Grimsby. Nobby has everything a man from the poor English fishing town of Grimsby could want - 9 children and the most attractive girlfriend in northern England (Rebel Wilson). There's only one thing missing in his life: his little brother, Sebastian. After they were adopted by different families as children, Nobby spent 28 years searching for him. Upon hearing of his location, Nobby sets off to reunite with his brother, unaware that not only is his brother an MI6 agent, but he's just uncovered a plot that puts the world in danger. On the run and wrongfully accused, Sebastian realizes that if he is going to save the world, he will need the help of its biggest idiot.
Leave your thoughts about Grimsby.
| Blu-ray.comBrian OrndorfLet's hope "The Brothers Grimsby" is a career anomaly for Cohen, who's wasting years on garbage, showing real desperation for the first time. He doesn't wear it well. |
| La Vanguardia (Spain)Jordi Batlle CaminalIf you're into this type of comedy, your level of enjoyment can be that of the elephant that appears in the film. [Full review in Spanish] |
| 4:3Peter WalshAt only 82 minutes, it's hard not to wonder whether something went desperately wrong behind the scenes or in the editing suite. |
| Boston HeraldStephen SchaeferA sentimental sibling reunion saga encased in a cascade of gross-out jokes and occasionally bright one-liners, The Brothers Grimsby is a treat only for die-hard Sacha Baron Cohen fans. |
| UproxxCharles BramescoIf your only desire as a moviegoer is to feel something, anything, then Cohen's nearly-hostile intentness on being stickier, smellier, and crasser than anyone else in wide release might get your blood pumping. |
| Digital SpyBen Rawson-JonesGrimsby is unashamedly crude and vulgar -- seriously, don't go expecting highbrow LOLs -- but outrageously funny as a result. |
| Entertainment WeeklyDarren FranichHere’s what you didn’t expect: That The Brothers Grimsby, an upstairs-downstairs spy comedy, would be Cohen’s best work in a decade. |
| New York Daily NewsGersh KuntzmanFull disclosure: I was the lone critic in America to unabashedly recommend "Zoolander 2," so I'm certainly not ashamed to even less abashedly beg you to go see "The Brothers Grimsby." |
| Hollywood ReporterLeslie FelperinBaron Cohen and Strong are both robustly physical performers, and their finest moments are when they’re grappling with each other, producing a great tangle of limbs and teeth. But the script, credited to Baron Cohen, Phil Johnston and Peter Baynham (based on a story by Baron Cohen and Johnston), is not especially generous to the other members of the cast. |
| The Sun (UK)Alex ZaneSacha Baron Cohen pushes the comedy envelope as far as he can with his latest creation in this rude, crude and utterly outrageous comedy |
