- TriviaIn an interview with Sacha Baron Cohen in promoting the movie, SBC said of the English town of Grimsby: "Grimsby is a lovely town in the North of England, which is twinned with the city of Chernobyl. I'm very proud of it - it was recently declared number three in the whole of Europe for childhood obesity and we just became the first town in England to achieve 100 per cent unemployment. Grimsby's a friendly place, where the little things that strangers say matter a lot. Like a 'please', a 'thank you', a 'not guilty'."

Featured review
Sorry, but a miss .... 3/10
When I first heard about Sascha Baron Cohen it was the movie Borat which seemed stupid to me and just ugly.
Then at some point the movie came on one of the free streaming services and I watched it. I almost died laughing. This was years later, about the time that "The Dictator" was released, so I went out to see it and also thought it was one of the funniest things I had ever seen.
The thing about these two movies is that they were funny, and they had a point, and in a weird way kind of a human aspect to them which is what put them over the top.
"The Brothers Grimsby" is just a series of off-color gags and slap- stick skits. To be fair, some of them are very funny, some seem to go over the top. It is just that what is missing is a real story.
I think they tried to replace the story by packing the movie full of dense and non-stop action ... but at least for me it did not work.
I just got back from seeing it, and I wish I had not gone and spent the money. I watched the whole movie, and did some some enjoyment from it, so I wouldn't give it a 0, 1 or 2 ... so what I left with is a 3 and that seems fair.
If you think you want to see this, wait on it for NetFlix or something, it's really not worth it, though there are some funny lines and gags the movie as a whole does not really work.
