Grimsby

So The other night I was invited out by a friend to see Sacha Baron Cohen's latest film Grimsby frankly should have been called  Far too Grimsby. The films plot is set around Nobby a work shy party animal who lives at home with his girlfriend and nine children. Your impression of Nobby is that between constantly breeding, getting wasted and sponging off the state his life would be complete. But this isn't the case he is still looking for his brother Sebastian who turns out to be a top Mi6 agent on the trail of a arms dealer who is looking to let a virus loose and exterminate the worlds population of scum including the inhabitance of grimsby.

More Damp Squib than Octopussy.

To be honest I knew that this film was going to be a disappointment the minuet the opening credits finished. The film goes for the formular of gross out cheap laughs rather than Baron Cohens usual brand of subversive comedy as we have seen in Ali G and Borat. There are two scenes in the film regrettably are burned into my brain for ever which are the elephant and the fish market, don't look either up on google.
This film doesn't get any better than this, I did think that the few first person shoot out scene where a interesting idea but not enough to save any part of the film. I was not the only one who had stopped laughing in the audience nor did I hear anyone had enjoyed the film either.
In all honesty dont waste your time with this film. I hope this is a small bump in the road for Sacha who normally turns out brilliant pieces of writing.
Although I could saved myself a lot of time by redirecting you to the Leciester mercury newspapers review which I shall quote. "Grimsby: In which the privately schooled, Oxbridge educated multimillonare invites us to laugh at his latest creation; a bloke with no job and eleven kids.
