Penelope Cruz

Sacha Baron Cohen's Norman "Nobby" Butcher, a Grimsby Town football fan suddenly thrust back into the life of his elite government assassin brother Sebastian (Mark Strong), is sadly not a comedic gem of a character to rank with Borat and Brüno. There's some fun in the brothers' riotous, sub-Bond action antics, but the constant stream of gross body-fluid jokes and the mock-northern accent soon grow tiring, while a cast including Penélope Cruz and Ian McShane is pretty much wasted.

Review: Grimsby, a bad taste comedy of epic proportions

Grimsby] is the kind of film you know you shouldn't laugh at, it's unbelievably disgusting and in no way witty or topical like Cohen's past ventures, but there's an audience for this type of comedy and I dare say they will lap it up in spades - just make sure you shower afterwards.

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.

Radio Times review

With Zoolander 2 stars Ben Stiller, Owen Wilson and Penélope Cruz in the house, it's safe to say the Graham Norton sofa is really, really, ridiculously good-looking. The chat-show host will be catching up with the trio and also entertaining Jack Black, who's stopping by to talk about his new big-screen adaptation of RL Stine's classic Goosebumps books. And as if that wasn't enough, Sir Elton John is on hand to provide a tune, chatting and performing Blue Wonderful from his new album. Friday night's all right for dancing too, y'know. Go on, have a shimmy on the sofa.
