Sacha Baron Cohen owes Grimsby more than a few laughs
The new movie is set in the fishing town in North East Lincolnshire that gets a lot of stick for allegedly being full chavs, druggies and pregnant teenagers - and Katy Forrester gives her opinion on Sacha Baron Cohen's new flick.

Can the brains behind Borat deliver more shocks up North?
Ben Rawson-Jones, Digital Spy, 23rd February 2016Review: Grimsby
The British actor shifts into spoof mode with this knockoff of spy movies. Has he gone soft?
Demetrios Matheou, IndieWire, 23rd February 2016Grimsby review
Did Mark Strong lose a bet with Sacha Baron Cohen? His character is so demeaned, degraded and humiliated in new film Grimsby that one wonders if Strong owed the comedy star and paid him back by allowing a variety of bodily fluids to be sprayed on his person.
Chris Tilly, IGN Movies, 23rd February 2016Grimsby review
Bad taste can be hilarious, shaking a laugh from even the most reserved, and opening minds to new worlds. But there are also tastes so bad they just make you retch. That's Grimsby, a feature-length version of gross-out joke The Aristocrats that puts all its emphasis on shock and none on genuine provocation.
Helen O'Hara, Empire, 23rd February 2016Grimsby review
Sacha Baron Cohen's exceedingly silly, incorrigibly lewd, intermittently hilarious new film is being released in the US as The Brothers Grimsby.
Brian Viner, Daily Mail, 23rd February 2016Grimsby review: impossible not to hate it
As a film watcher I can be very critical and forthright with my opinions, but there are very few films that get to me in such a way I'd actually say I hate them. Oh, there are movies that are completely boring from start to finish, movies that miss the mark to such an extent it's impossible to not get unbridledly annoyed by them and movies that are so incompetently made that they barely even qualify as a movie. But there are only really a handful of films I would say that I actively hate. Grimsby is one of them.
Alex Leadbetter, What Culture!, 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.
