The Brothers Grimsby's reviews
Media reviews
Cinemanía
Hooliganism, action and social message = one of the comedies of the year.
El Mundo
Obscene, clumsy... and irresistible. (...) With a disjointed and out of step script, there is a minimum of five perfect gags.
The Hollywood Reporter
It's no 'Borat' (...) In the wake of the disappointment that was 2012's 'The Dictator', 'The Brothers Grimsby' provides further evidence that Baron Cohen, having embarked on a career as a straight actor, is perhaps going a bit soft.
Time Out
A half-successful blend of laughs and action movie (...) The film is at its best when it wears its immaturity proudly.
Indiewire
As frequently hilarious as 'Grimsby' is, it doesn't see Cohen working at his full potential; we need him back in 'Borat' mode, baring his teeth.
Variety
A smutty but strained spy spoof in which most of the human-based comedy stays comparatively flaccid.
ABC
Another movie with special Sacha style, but too forced for his usual cinema.
The Guardian
The Ali G and Borat creator shows little of his anarchic brilliance in this tame comedy (...) this moderate new comedy that basically defeated my attempts to like it.
