The Brothers Grimsby (2016)

Storyline

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

Two brothers, one is a total dimwit, and the other is a secret agent, can you tell who's who.

When it comes to a Sacha Baron Cohen film, it really goes all out, he never runs from shock value laughs, he goes right for it. And he co wrote The Brothers Grimsby, so I knew what going in to this what to expect. I do admire Sacha Baron Cohen, cause he is not afraid to make a fool out of himself in order to get a laugh.

It's not only a raunchy comedy, but an intense action film, very similar to Mission Impossible films. Mark Strong really makes his part work well, as an intelligent secret agent, really glad to see him in a comedy, he most of the time plays villainous, or intense unhinging characters, so seeing him here is refreshing. Has well as Cohen who plays a lovable moron to a perfection. You really buy that they are brothers, chemistry between them is very strong. There where moment that I thought where funny, other parts where the shock value comedy parts where just kind of unnecessary, action scenes are pretty good.

Rebel Wilson is in this as Cohen's wife, after How to Be Single, I'm glad to say she is not in it much. Isla Fisher(Cohen's real life wife) is in this, and is pretty good. I can't say this movie is good, but not all bad either. If you are not a fan of Sacha Baron Cohen, then you should probably avoid this.
