Doesn't warrant me saying any more than please don't waste 90 minutes of your life on this trite, banal, course and terrible movie.

I didn't expect much from this film, but was bored and had nothing better to do. I was pleasantly surprised that it was genuinely funny.
Sasha Baron Cohen is doing his usual thing of donning a silly accent and being an over-the-top caricature, but he was nicely balanced by a good script and Mark Strong, plus some side characters who were pretty good.
Some of the jokes didn't land, but overall better than I thought.

This film is puerile, childish, corny, yet I'm afraid to say it's also very funny.I can understand why some people hated it, but I guess a film where Sacha Baron Cohen lowers the bar for filth and infantile toilet humour to a new level is bound to get some negative reviews. I wish I didn't find it funny, but I couldn't help it, at the end of the day I'm still a big kid at heart and fireworks up arseholes or hiding in an elephant's vagina while being drowned in a mountain of spunk from a horny herd of elephants is funny. Not sure if many Americans would get the humour, but I'm sure a lot of Brits would find it hilarious. Certainly not a work of genius, just a crude and funny parody of spy movies and working class northern England.The coarseness of this film is relentless. Mark Strong plays along perfectly as the James Bond character who is reunited with his working class brother from Grimsby who eventually team up to save the world from being poisoned by a biological chemical weapon being released at the fictional Soccer World Cup final in Chile. If you are in the least bit prudish, you'd probably give it a 1/10, but if you like silly vulgar humour then give this film a go, it's not that long and is a good laugh.

This is one of the funniest film I've seen this year. I like Mark Strong usually plays villian or sidekick role. It is great to see him in a comedy. The story is funny at all time and not a dull moment, I saw this film 3 times as I'm in love with Mark Strong, but also able to enjoy all the funny parts repeatedly. Definitely stands out among most of the mediocre films this year.
