Review of Grimsby (2016) by Avery R — 30 Mar 2016

I loved this movie. very different in many ways and at the same time very similar in many ways. this movie is more than a straight comedy. It's about half comedy and the other half is an action movie and a strong emotional story. overall I can't say it's a good story because it definitely has lots of dumb-ness and dopey-ness, and stuff that would never happen. but there were definitely parts that were emotionally powerful. And the action really threw me off guard. Some of it was ok, but most of it was BEASTLY. And back to the comedy, it was hilarious. plenty of scenes had me dying of laughter. overall it wasn't nearly as funny as Borat, but that's because Borat was a straight comedy for the entire movie.

Sacha baron Cohen continues to prove he is a GENIUS. this is another great character, and completely different from his past five (Ali g, Borat, bruno, Jean girard, aladeen). he's never afraid to take it too far and shock you. also, a lot of the comedy isn't just random, it frequently relates back to something in a clever way (2 viewings).
