Storyline

MI6's top assassin (Mark Strong) has a brother. Unfortunately for him, he's a football hooligan (Sacha Baron Cohen) from the town of Grimsby. Nobby has everything a man from the poor English fishing town of Grimsby could want - 9 children and the most attractive girlfriend in northern England (Rebel Wilson). There's only one thing missing in his life: his little brother, Sebastian. After they were adopted by different families as children, Nobby spent 28 years searching for him. Upon hearing of his location, Nobby sets off to reunite with his brother, unaware that not only is his brother an MI6 agent, but he's just uncovered a plot that puts the world in danger. On the run and wrongfully accused, Sebastian realizes that if he is going to save the world, he will need the help of its biggest idiot.

Goofs

When Nobby shows smartphone photos to his kids, the edge of the phone is white with black corners, but when Sebastian takes the phone the edge is entirely black. Likewise, when it was in Nobby's hand the back of the phone was white, but when Sebastian makes a call with it, the back is black. Finally, while Sebastian is holding the phone (the black-backed version), there is a cut back to Nobby and the kids where Nobby is also holding the phone (the white-backed version).

User Reviews

Years of not laughing like this

im not a big fan of football nor sex jokes and this kind of movies in general. but this one! at one point i was worried about getting a stroke or something, i watched it just to fall in sleep and because i saw a fx making of on youtube.but i just could not stop laughing,and laughing hard.

the movie is an example of effort in all matters and an example of how Hollywood culture in general is just worthless as in years they haven't come with something like this or other movies. where creativity,effort and risk just leads natural.

here you can see really good and new attempts of everything,action, comedy,jokes,script, i would dare to say that for the first time i see actors (Acting).

if Hollywood would full produce this movie there would be. Ben Affleck,Vin Diesel,Mark Wahlberg or tom cruise as actors and for so in order to respect (Their) fame and image. 90% of the jokes, script,editing,action,etc,etc. would be taken off.

And even if they didn't. the simply fact of one of them being there would trash the whole movie.

this movie represents what cinema was created for. like it or not. be it your kind of movie or not. in general terms this is what films are meant for.
