WHAT’S IT ABOUT?
28 years ago, two brothers were separated after they were adopted by different families. Now, the older of the two – idiotic football hooligan Norman “Nobby” Grimsby (Cohen) – is about to reunite with his long-lost younger brother for the first time since their separation… however, Sebastian (Strong) has grown up to be one of MI6’s deadliest assassins, and their reunion unintentionally botches a mission which sees both brothers on the run and the world in danger – which can only be prevented if both of them team up…
IN ONE SENTENCE, WHY SHOULD YOU BE EXCITED?
Fresh from offending most of the world with his antics as Ali G, Borat et al, Sacha Baron Cohen returns with a vengeance in this wild action-comedy that likely won’t sit easily with the real-life Northern England town of Grimsby.
