About this movie

Nobby, a sweet but dimwitted English football hooligan, reunites with his long-lost brother Sebastian, a deadly MI6 agent, to prevent a massive global terror attack and prove that behind every great spy is an embarrassing sibling. Nobby has everything a man from Grimsby could want, including 11 children and the most gorgeous girlfriend in the northeast of England. There’s only one thing missing: his little brother, Sebastian, who Nobby has spent 28 years searching for after they were separated as kids. Nobby sets off to reunite with Sebastian, unaware that not only is his brother MI6’s deadliest assassin, but he’s just uncovered plans for an imminent global terrorist attack. On the run and wrongfully accused, Sebastian realizes that if he is going to save the world, he will need the help of its biggest idiot. (c) null 2016 Columbia Pictures Industries, Inc.

While not the biggest Sacha Barron Cohen fan I thought it was Good fun. Parts of it more serious than you would expect. Almost like it was one serious movie that had been mashed together with a Sacha Barron Cohen character requiring a slight re-write of the script and inject his humour into it in a way that did not totally ruin it. Excellent action sequences that are so very crisp in some scenes blended nicely with just the right dose of humour making it a decent way to spend 120 minutes of your time and worth the rental price.

Really funny off the wall humour. Has some deep meanings in it as well, you don't have to look far to see them. A focus on family, and no matter what scene of society you come from your life matters. That said, I wouldn't watch it with my Mum. I really loved it!

Ok, so get past the crude humour in a few scenes and this is a very funny movie. Not normally a fan of Barren Coen's but pretty much laughed from start to finish. The Donald Trump reference was very topical give the US presidential race.
