You will not…hold sway over me again…Rebel Wilson!
Alright, there’s a certain pleasure in watching a Sacha Baron Cohen movie only because it mixes in the absurd in a world that doesn’t realize that it is absurd. Spies don’t usually do stunts but any football (soccer to Americans) fan knows about the levels of trouble a dedicated hooligan gets into during the season.
I pose this question: what seems more real? Nobby has everything an English football hooligan could want – nine children and…Rebel Wilson. Yet, he yearns to meet the brother, Sebastian, who he lost when they were adopted by different families as children. After finally getting his location, he finds that Sebastian is both an MI-6 agent and on a mission to uncover a plot that involves the safety of the whole world. When things go fubar, Sebastian finds that if he is going to save the world, he needs to do it together with Nobby as the Brothers Grimsby.
The Brothers Grimsby is directed by Louis Leterrier. It stars Mark Strong and Isla Fisher. U.K. audiences can expect its release February 24th, 2016 and U.S. audiences can see it March 11th, 2016. For the full list of dates, click here.
