Popcorn vs Kernel

5 Popcorns = Must see!
4 Popcorns = You'll probably like it.
3 Popcorns = Go in the morning when there are cheaper ticket prices.
2 Popcorns = Maybe rent it.
1 Popcorn = Wait for a friend to rent it and watch it with them.
Kernel = Don't see it at all. Ever.

The Brothers Grimsby (2016)





Directed by: Louis Leterrier

Written by: Sacha Baron Cohen, Phil Johnston, & Peter Baynham

Starring: Sacha Baron Cohen & Mark Strong







This film was hilarious.  Tears were coming out of my eyes for most of the hour and 23 minutes.

Nobby (Cohen) has been searching for his brother for 28 years.  After spotting him one day, he makes sure to never get separated from his brother ever again.  Unfortunately, Sebastian (Strong), Nobby's brother and spy, wants nothing more than to be rid of his brother since he compromised his mission.  Everyone is out to kill Sebastian, but with the help of his brother will they be able to survive, while staying together?

The Brothers Grimsby has crude humor throughout the whole thing.  If you can't stand that humor, don't see this film.  But if you can, definitely see it, because you'll be laughing so much.

There were certain parts of the film that I was thinking, while laughing, "okay, what's the next scene, this one has to be over," but it wasn't and Cohen added an extra layer on top of most scenes to make them even funnier than they were already.

Plus if you don't like Trump, you'll for sure love this film.

The only problem I had with the film was that some of the cinematography shots were not very good. For example, there were at least 5 power shots, meaning that the camera shoots you from below, of Cohen and, to me, they were just too low and it didn't look right.  But other than that this film was great.  5 popcorns.
