Normally I am not overly keen on the movies that Sacha Baron Cohen stars in, because he is fairly singular and monotonous in his movies. As in if you've seen one of his movies, you have essentially seen all.

However I decided to give the movie a chance because it had Mark Strong on the cast list, and also because my wife said it was a hilarious movie. It turned out that this was actually a rather enjoyable and funny movie. There were some really funny moments throughout the course of the movie. And yes, I did laugh a lot throughout this movie as the endless gags kept coming.

The storyline was a good combination of serious plot and silly comedy. And I must admit that this was one of Sascha Baron Cohen's better movies actually.

The Brothers Grimsby" is good for an evening of cheap laughs, but I doubt this is a movie that you will pick up and watch more than once as it doesn't seem to have enough contents to support more than a single viewing.

For anyone that's read anything I've reviewed you'll be aware that I generally have a lot to say for myself, having watched Grimsby I must admit I'm left utterly speechless, there are truly few words I can think of. I genuinely can't decide if I loved it, or hated it, but I will try and review as best I can.

The best element of the film, Mark Strong, an awesome actor, not just the hard man, but truly versatile, and looking like he loved making this film. Toilet humour, plenty of it, at times I felt like I was watching a hybrid James Bond/Carry on film, it felt so 90's, which is no bad thing.

Cohen's character wasn't the greatest for me if I'm honest, his other creations are far more memorable. Worth watching for the ending, it's a movie you'd watch with your mates on a Friday night, with Pizza and enormous amounts of alcohol.

It's insane and enough to put you off safari forever, but some of the jokes are very funny.

GRIMSBY is a real mixed bag of a movie with some elements I loved and some I absolutely hated. That I liked anything about it at all is a surprise given that it was written by and stars Sacha Baron Cohen, an actor I find painfully unfunny and who tends to mar everything in which he appears. He tones it down a bit and even plays a mildly likeable character here, but he still can't resist throwing in lots of ridiculously crude humour which you'd expect in the playground; the poison scene and the elephant scene in particular are just stupid and crass and an example of everything I hate about modern comedy. It's a pity, as elsewhere this satirises working class life very well, with the depiction of Cohen's home life spot on. Elsewhere, the film's action elements are very good; I love Mark Strong and always thought he should have got the Bond job over Daniel Craig and he plays up to that persona here. There's some first person action courtesy of the HARDCORE HENRY director which is spot on, and even a Scott Adkins fight scene worth watching for alone. The rest is hit and miss, raising a smile here, repulsing the viewer at other times.
