Stupid is as stupid does

Grimsby (2016)

Directed by Louis Leterrier this film stars Sacha Baron Cohen, Mark Strong, Rebel Wilson and Penelope Cruz. An English football hooligan from the North of England finds his younger brother that has been missing for 28 years is a super spy.

No one has ever really accused Sacha Baron Cohen of being the master of high brow comedy but this film is really scrapping the bottom of the barrel. What few chuckles there are seem to be an after thought in this immature effort. The film has little to say and the short run time shows how hard they found it to stretch out the concept to feature length.


2/5
