Grimsby review
Sacha Baron Cohen's jokes aren't at the expense of his latest creation - the football obsessed, kebab-munching Nobby - but at the people who imagine the character really exists.
Robbie Collin, The Telegraph, 23rd February 2016Grimsby film review
Sacha Baron Cohen's joyous ride that takes the 'grim' out of Grimsby.
Geoffrey Macnab, The Independent, 23rd February 2016Grimsby review
There's a jumbo-sized gag in Sacha Baron Cohen's latest that's as hilariously outrageous as anything in Borat. But on the whole, Grimsby has its creator-slash-star operating on a tamer, more sentimental register than usual, even when giving himself a pube goatee or doing alarming things to a certain ex-child actor.
Neil Smith, Games Radar, 23rd February 2016'Grimsby': review
Sacha Baron Cohen didn't become a household name by pulling his punches. While his latest subversion Grimsby is ostensibly a routinely lowbrow British comedy, it's also a something of stealth device to test the waters as to how far down he can bottom-feed. The answer is: deep. Grimsby is unflinchingly dirty as Baron Cohen mucks around with Little Britain's class war and its Benefits Street 'welfare scum'.
Fionnuala Halligan, Screen Daily, 23rd February 2016Review: Grimsby
Sacha Baron Cohen's football hooligan comedy is a half-successful blend of laughs and action movie.
Dave Calhoun, Time Out, 23rd February 2016Grimsby: film review
Back in the late '90s, when Da Ali G Show pulled in big ratings and before the Kazakh clown Borat spun off with his own film, comedian Sacha Baron Cohen was arguably the funniest man in Britain, if you didn't count Boris Johnson (the outgoing mayor of London). In the wake of the disappointment that was 2012's The Dictator, The Brothers Grimsby (which will be called just Grimsby when it opens in the U.K. on Feb. 24) provides further evidence that Baron Cohen, having embarked on a career as a straight actor, is perhaps going a bit soft in his middle age. And that's not something one says lightly about a film featuring jokes about pedophilia, AIDS and people being accidentally anally penetrated by all manner of strange objects.
Leslie Felperin, Hollywood Reporter, 22nd February 2016Grimsby review - Sacha Baron Cohen's gags fall flat
The Ali G and Borat creator shows little of his anarchic brilliance in this tame comedy, which is just kept from flatlining by moments of high-impact grossout.
Peter Bradshaw, The Guardian, 22nd February 2016Film review: Grimsby
Sacha Baron Cohen sets his satirical sights back on the U.K. working classes -- with spottily crass, sometimes cruel results.
