[projekktor id=’23352′]

The Brothers Grimsby is an action comedy directed by Louis Leterrier (Now You See Me, Clash of the Titans). Sacha Baron Cohen co-wrote the script and stars in the film alongside Mark Strong, Rebel Wilson, Penélope Cruz, Isla Fisher, and Gabourey Sidibe.

Nobby has everything a man from Grimsby could want – 9 children and a girlfriend he loves more than anything (Rebel Wilson). There’s only one thing missing in his life: his little brother, Sebastian (Mark Strong), from whom he was separated as a child. After 28 years of searching, Nobby has finally tracked his brother down in London – unaware that he’s an MI6 assassin. After a disastrous reunion in which Nobby accidentally ruins Sebastian’s life and puts them both on the run, they uncover a plot to destroy the world.  In order to save humanity, and his brother, Nobby has to embark on a global mission and undertake a complete transformation from lovable fool to sophisticated secret agent.

“When writing for Ali G and Borat and Bruno, everything had to be believable. Ali G or Borat could never do anything out of character,” Cohen says. “So when it comes to writing our movies, everything comes from that kind of basis, that pure idea – what would the character do? Sometimes we think of really funny jokes, but they wouldn’t come out of that character’s mouth. It has to be authentic and believable, so we create this real world around the characters for the comedy to exist in.”

The Brothers Grimsby is rated 18A.
