Brothers Grimsby Free

[Brigitta Martini]

KyleAlan "Nobby" Butcher had been separated from his little brother Sebastian Butcher for 28 years. During their years apart, Nobby became an alcoholic football hooligan who started a life with his girlfriend Dawn and their 11 children in Grimsby, while Sebastian, now known as Sebastian Graves, has become one of MI6's top agents.

After completing an interrogation, Sebastian gets information regarding philanthropist Rhonda George, who is hosting a benefit called WorldCure and is a potential target for assassination, and is assigned to go. Nobby's friends at the pub also find out that Sebastian will be at WorldCure, and convince Nobby to go there and reconnect with him. At the event, Sebastian sees hitman Pavel Lukashenko, who plans to assassinate Rhonda with a gun disguised as a video camera. As Sebastian prepares to shoot the camera, Nobby sees him and gives him a hug, causing him to accidentally shoot an AIDS-infected Jewish-Palestinian boy named Schlomo (Yusuf Hofri). The spray of blood lands in Daniel Radcliffe's mouth, infecting him with AIDS.

The brothers go on the run from the authorities and other criminals. Despite Sebastian's protests, Nobby convinces him that it would be best to hide out at his home in Grimsby. Meanwhile, believing that Sebastian has gone rogue, MI6 orders an assassin named Chilcott to track him down. Sebastian calls his handler Jodie and proclaims his innocence. Chilcott and his men find the two brothers at a pub; they both manage to escape, though Sebastian is hit with two Lonomia poison darts in his shoulder and testicle. Nobby is reluctantly forced to suck the poison out of both places, saving Sebastian's life.

Sebastian learns from Jodie that Lukashenko was going to make a deal with Joris Smit in a South African lodge, so the brothers travel there. Sebastian accidentally injects himself with heroin that Nobby bought, mistaking it for the bone-strengthening treatment for his broken ankle. Nobby then assumes his brother's identity and goes undercover. He mistakenly seduces a cleaner named Banu as she wore similar clothing to Joris' wife Lina and is interrupted by Joris and his two men. Sebastian arrives in the nick of time and saves Nobby. Lina tells them that Lukashenko purchased some sort of virus, but she is fatally shot by Chilcott's men from a distance before she can reveal any further information. To outrun Chilcott's men, the brothers are forced to hide inside an elephant's vagina, but end up covered in elephant semen after several males have sex with the female while they are inside.

After the brothers have cleaned themselves up, Sebastian asks why Nobby abandoned him as a child. Nobby explains that Sebastian's adoptive parents only wanted to adopt one of the brothers but were unable to decide, and he ran away so Sebastian could have a better life. Sebastian apologises to Nobby. The brothers travel to Chile, the venue of the football cup final between England and Germany. They realise that the syndicate plans to unleash their weapon in the arena, but the syndicate captures Sebastian. Rhonda, the real mastermind of the plot, visits Sebastian and tells him her plans to launch the virus (called WorldCure) into the arena via fireworks. Nobby kills Lukashenko and other henchmen on his way before rescuing Sebastian.

The brothers race back to the arena and spot Rhonda. Chilcott attempts to kill Sebastian, but Nobby's kids throw Schlomo's wheelchair at him, knocking him over and impaling him on a helmet while Nobby goes after Rhonda. Nobby then tries to shoot Rhonda but his gun jams and he realises he must stop the fireworks himself. He sits on one of the fireworks containing the virus; Sebastian sits on the other at the last minute, reaffirming his brotherhood with Nobby. The fireworks go off with the two atop them and the brothers are knocked unconscious upon landing. Nobby's gun goes off and shoots Daniel Radcliffe, whose AIDS-infected blood spills into Donald Trump's mouth.

The news reports state that Rhonda has been arrested, the Grimsby brothers have "died" after saving the world, and that Trump has AIDS. Schlomo is in custody after "killing" Chilcott. The brothers are actually recovering in the hospital, and Jodie visits and gives them new identities, informing them that the virus did not affect them because its antidote is elephant semen. Nobby's family visits them. Eight weeks later, Nobby and Sebastian are on a mission in Indonesia. On a boat, Nobby is approached by a team of gunmen, whom he quickly kills. He reaches Sebastian, who asks him if he has met the team, and Nobby realises too late that the gunmen were his team.

In a post-credits scene, the brothers are in a car and stop to ask a man for directions to a football stadium. After receiving directions, Nobby shoots the man in order to "leave no witnesses", disturbing Sebastian.

In October 2013, Sacha Baron Cohen was spotted attending a football match between Grimsby Town and Cambridge United. Baron Cohen, who was dressed in a Grimsby shirt, was also spotted talking with Town fans in a nearby pub after the game.[10] It was later confirmed that he was scouting towns for the film, and had also checked out Scunthorpe, Hull and Newcastle in order to find inspiration for his new role.[11] On 3 December 2013, Louis Leterrier was set to direct.[12]

On 24 April 2014, Mark Strong joined the film to play a British black-ops spy and brother of Baron Cohen's character.[5] On 25 April, Annabelle Wallis joined the cast of the film.[9] On 11 June, Ian McShane, Gabourey Sidibe, David Harewood, and Johnny Vegas were confirmed as cast members. On 12 June, Baron Cohen's wife Isla Fisher was announced in a supporting role.[6] The same day, Rebel Wilson's casting was announced,[7] followed by Penlope Cruz on July 9.[8]

A number of residents of Grimsby were upset with Baron Cohen for negative stereotypes portraying their town as a rubbish-strewn, violent ghetto in which drunks urinate from windows and mothers hand children cans of beer in the street.[19]

Sony Pictures' distribution head said, "[We] certainly wanted more... we tried to crack the code on it, but it just didn't happen for us."[26] After its opening weekend, the film was deemed a box office bomb by numerous publications.[27]

On review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes, the film holds an approval rating of 36% based on 137 reviews, with an average rating of 4.80/10. The website's critical consensus reads, "The Brothers Grimsby showers viewers with a steady stream of Sacha Baron Cohen's edgy humor, but too many gags hit the wrong side of the line between audacious and desperate."[28] On Metacritic, the film received a score of 44 based on 34 reviews, indicating "mixed or average reviews".[29] Audiences polled by CinemaScore gave the film an average grade of "B+" on an A+ to F scale.[30]

Always Packed for Adventures details my life as a thirty-something, Los Angeles native married to a British man. I often write about our travels, but also local adventures, especially those just off the beaten path.

PLOT- Nobby (Sacha Baron Cohen) and Sebastian (Mark Strong) are brothers who lost their parents and were separated as children. Younger Brother, Sebastian, was adopted by a wealthy London couple and has been working as a secret agent. Nobby, never left their home town of Grimsby, possibly the most depressing town in England. Nobby has nine children, adores his wife (Rebel Wilson), and spends most of his time at the pub, drinking beer and watching football. Even though it has been twenty-eight years, Nobby has never lost hope that he would be reunited with Sebastian.

As luck would have it, one of Nobby's friends, a fellow citizen of Grimsby, has a cousin who has located Sebastian and steals a ticket for Nobby to attend a fancy event where Sebastian will be in attendance. Sebastian's attendance is really part of a secret mission and when the brothers are united, his cover is blown. Sebastian must now rely on Nobby to hide him, until he has a chance to fix the situation.

LIKE- Sacha Baron Cohen films are polarizing. Either you love him or you hate him. I happen to think he's outrageous and funny, The Brothers Grimsby being no exception. Unlike his other recent films, this is not Cohen interacting with unsuspecting real people, this is 100% fiction. However, like his other films, Cohen has created a very strong, outlandish character and he owns it.

From a writing standpoint, I was impressed with the way that The Brothers Grimsby doesn't drop details. If they introduce an element, it's not superfluous. The gags are not for a quick laugh, they always move the story forward. This film is plot heavy and every thing has a pay-off. The plot is clever and the dialogue often had me laughing out-loud. Admittedly our theatre only had a handful of people, but everyone was laughing.

Something I didn't expect was the sentimental element to the film involving the bond between the brothers, especially as children. In particular, the kid who plays the younger Sebastian (Gabriel Chay Palmer) has a gut wrenching scene on a train. I almost cried in a Sacha Baron Cohen movie: true story.

One more note, Grimsby is a real town and the town was not happy with their portrayal in the film. It's not flattering. The mayor had a promotional video made to counter the film and show Grimsby in a positive light. I found it on Youtube, take a look -

Comedy mastermind Sacha Baron Cohen is ideal as the boorish manchild Nobby, a trashy soccer hooligan who is searching for his long-lost brother Sebastian (Mark Strong), who turns out to be a skilled MI-6 secret spy. When a series of events leads to their eventual reuniting, all hell breaks loose.

Still, the movie managed to make me laugh throughout, even when the third act begins to lag. Throw in some mildly amusing bits with the loveable Rebel Wilson and an entertaining supporting cast (Gabourey Sidibe, Isla Fisher, Ian McShane and Penelope Cruz) and it becomes quite a successful comedy.
