If you love Sacha Baron Cohen and have seen all his movies and know what type of jokes and stupidness to expect, you know that this will be the movie for you! Yes it has some quite weird moments, but they are funny, crazy funny even anyway, so whatever! I don't know what type of humour others here, who maybe haven't seen Borat, Bruno, Dictator or Ali G expect, I mean it's straight outta that alley, so if you liked those, you will enjoy this (even if it is a bit stupid, but I mean Ali G was too for example). Cohen just knows how to make movies that can offend people or make people think how dumb they are, even though they are still funny… Expand

Just as hilarious as it is outrageous The Brothers Grimsby finds multiple ways to get even more crazy throughout. Funny note is I noticed about 10 people leave during the film... If you that deeply offended by the movie--congratulations.

Cohen is as funny as he's ever been, and Mark Strong is the perfect foil for him. The directing and editing are just top notch - it hardly ever slows down.

Haven't laughed this hard from watching a comedy in many years. The humor is mostly stupid, vulgar or politically incorrect, and I can understand why the critics generally do not seem to give it good reviews. Regular viewers seem to disagree though, both here and on imdb. It is not a great film, it is just a very funny film. If you are not easily offended and generally enjoy simple and vulgar humor, you will probably not be disappointed.… Expand

This is the best sustained comedy since last year’s ‘Trainwreck’. Definitely not a must see for the easily offended or for those who like their comedy sophisticated, but for everyone else Sacha Baron Cohen’s latest envelope pushing exercise in bad taste is a lot better than its marketing would suggest. A few of the actors (notably McShane and Cruz) are underused and the child hood flashbacks add little, but otherwise this audacious conceit will put a smile on your face unless, maybe, you live in Grimsby! The re-titling for the U S market is redundantly misleading.… Expand

Sacha Baron Cohen is one of the most outrageously funny comedians to exist in the 21st century and his films constantly bring something fresh to the table, Grimsby is no exception.
No holds barred comedy is SBC's forte and with experiencedSacha Baron Cohen is one of the most outrageously funny comedians to exist in the 21st century and his films constantly bring something fresh to the table, Grimsby is no exception.
No holds barred comedy is SBC's forte and with experienced action-director Louis Leterrier at the helm, Grimsby offers a by-the-numbers action film spliced with layers of comedy gold. However, this gold comes in slightly faecal coloured nuggets and is not recommended for those with a disposition for the finer things in life.
Mark Strong's performance as an MI6 agent on the run is the perfect foil for SBC's compassionate, family-driven, working class layabout and the chemistry of these two carry the entire film.
This generic action film/spy movie parody is elevated by SBC's creativity and balls-to-the chin comedy and is a must see for any fans of his previous work.… Expand

This film is much more graphic and shocking then I expected but so made for a good laugh, others just left me questioning what I just watched. The film is able to mix action and comedy quite well, much better then most standard Action/Comedy movies. The humor in this movie is not for everyone but for those who appreciate a more crude and vulgar humor should get a few good laughs out of it. Enjoy at your own risk.… Expand

Everything you will expect from a Sacha Baron Cohen's film plus interesting action (but the eye filming effect made it hard to understand). If you get offended easily avoid it.

Grimsby is a highly entertaining film if you enjoy Sacha Baron Cohen type of humor. Although some of the jokes are very childish they are delivered in such a clever manor that you will find yourself caught off guard and rolling on the floor laughing, and I give the movie credit for that.

Don't go and watch this film if you are easily offended or are planing to go watch it with your parents. Besides that if you are immature enough you will find this movie a great laugh. (Highly recommended to watch with mates) (Don't go watch with your date because they will find out how immature you are)… Expand

It's as if everyone involved realized for the first time in movie history that "oh hey, they got the synopsis from the trailers. We can just start it with the ball already rolling." Obviously there are moments detailing the cause of the brothers separation, but they paced nicely throughout the movie as opposed to crammed into the beginning for a slow ramp up. The result is a comedy that starts off crazy and doesn't stop.

It's a outright laugh riot. The plot doesn't hold up as well as the jokes with it's predictable spy themes and all that, but it ultimately doesn't matter too much. It avoids the spy parody angle I thought it was going to go for and it's all the better for it. It's just flat out, outrageous humor.

It does occasionally get too nasty and immature at times, but for the most part I found myself laughing at even it's lowest moments of comedic intelligence. Cohen and Strong have fantastic chemistry. The rest of the cast is basically just there for the occasional gag, but I still got a kick out of seeing some familiar faces.

It's just a great comedy that's filled with laughs. There's even some great action sequences that are first-person that are really cool to witness. The plot falls a bit short and the morals it tries to squeeze in there at the end fall flat, but at the end of the day it's all about the jokes. In that department these brothers deliver in spades. Stupid, nasty, and hilarious spades.

I'll bet that SBC enjoyed the reaction of critics as much as he probably enjoyed making the film. Social justice warriors will hate it and that's part of what makes the movie fun.

I thought it might be a spin off to 'The Man from UNCLE', but it wasn't. From the action-thriller director known for 'Transporter' films and this is his first comedy, yet it has some great stunts. It is about the two brothers who meets after a lot time separation. Now they're two opposite kinds, professionally and socially. So coming together means trouble is inevitable wherever they go in the world. Against all the odds how they accomplish their task that forced them to do it is the rest of the film.

If you like Sacha's trademark comedies, you might like it as well. Like always his part was excellent in this, especially jokes were very hilarious. Though the story was weak, but the rest of the film was not bad. The overall film leaned on its comedies and that's how the narration somewhat successfully carried out till the end. An enjoyable film, but you might hesitate to rate higher, because this is not the best film of the year, definitely not for me, I've seen a lot better ones.

Besides, Mark Strong was amazing. He was always been a co-star, but here he's equal to Sacha and he did some good stunts as well. I think the film is passable, because it is one of the recent decent comedy. I can suggest it for those who're seeking some laughs. It might won't bring the loud ones, but surely will raise your cheeks. The film is for adults for the R rated jokes, there are some unexpected scenes that I was surprised for them. I enjoyed it and I'm sure I won't remember it for very long, that kind of film it is.

Liam Gallagher: Agente Secreto"

Louis Letterier, ese señor que a veces saca cosas interesantes como Danny the dog o Transporter, alguna marvelada como El increible Hulk o zurullos como Furia de Titanes y saca esta extraña, grotesca, burra y soez comedía de acción con Sacha Baron Cohen y Mark Strong de protagonistas. Antes de que continúes leyendo, te diré que si no toleras el humor soez, bestia, ordinario, cruel y racista nivel Deadpool o Ted, esta película se te atragantará muchisimo y no la veas, ve algo mas light o descafeinado como yo que se...Brooklyn o cualquier telefilm random, pero si no es el caso, por favor continúe leyendo.

La historia nos narra como un eficaz agente del MI6 (Mark Strong), descubre que tiene un hermano (Sacha Baron Cohen) muy diferente a él: fanático del fútbol y protagonista de numerosos y disparatados altercados dado su peculiar y conflictivo carácter, con demasiado parentesco a Liam Gallagher el ex-cantante de Oasis.

Al principio la película, sin ningún tipo de tapujo, empieza a copiar a ALI G, soltando algún chascarrillo rancio sobre lo borrachuzos, paletos que son los ingleses canis y Hooligans, mientras te entrelazas escenas de acción muy bien elaboradas por parte de Mark Strong con algunas escenas filmadas en primera persona, como Hardcore Henry, pero en su justa y sensata medida. Hasta este momento, la película se ha convertido en una especie de Arma Letal o un Tango y Cash con ingleses, pero... eso es solo la punta del iceberg.

Sacha Baron Cohen, que nos trajo comedias irreverentes, polémicas como Ali G, Borat o Brüno, y tras la sosería de El Dictador, nos regresa con sobradas que dejan a Deadpool, Ted o Mil maneras de morder el polvo, pero dejandolas al nivel para todos los públicos, Chistes de SIDA, racistas, bukakes, besos negros, Donald Trump, escrotos... todo ello intercalado con una trama de agentes secretos y organizaciones criminales. El resultado ha sido algo que pasaría a ser una comedia random de mierda, olvidable, pero sus burradas me han ganado. Una de las pegas, que lastra este film por desgracia como en todas estos tipos de humores, que algunos chistes, los sobrecargan demasiado, y quizás contado una segunda vez, deja de ser gracioso.

Debo destacar la interpretaciónes de Mark Strong, de agente duro y sus momentos cómicos que me hicieron descojonarme de lo lindo y de Baron Cohen, cascandose un personaje grimoso, un verdadero gañan de los suburbios, con un acento cerrado ...¡coño!, es que este señor esta imitando al maldito Liam Gallagher.

Agente Contrainteligente, se puede decir, que es una comedia soez, que los fans de Baron Cohen disfrutarán, la gente que disfruta con el humor escatológico se reirá, pero como dije al principio, si no eres muy ducho o tu humor es mas....refinado. ¿Por que has seguido leyendo esto?… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. It's not a GREAT movie, but I disagree a bit with those who say it's a complete time-wasting piece of garbage. The jokes weren't THAT bad, some were actually pretty funny and smart (like the final Donald Trump is not HIV positive one). Watch this on a weekend when you're really bored (and when your kid isn't present), there's a good chance you won't hate it.… Expand
