Sacha Baron Cohen In The Brothers Grimby

1002 Words5 Pages

To say Sacha Baron Cohen is a controversial figure is like pointing out humans require water in order to survive. After all, we are talking about the man that has become synonymous for radically contentious roles – as seen in Brüno, The Dictator, and everyone’s favorite, Borat. And, I’m guessing his devoted followers are hoping for more of the same in the new film, The Brothers Grimby.

Well, if that’s true, you’re in luck Sacha fans…

In The Brothers Grimsby, directed by Louis Leterrier (The Transporter, Now You See Me), Sacha Baron Cohen stars as Nobby – a devoted family man that spends his days drinking in England (in the town of Grimsby) pubs and watching soccer (or football if that’s what you’d prefer to call it).

Since his adolescence, Nobby has been separated from his younger brother, Sebastian (Mark Stong), who’s grown up to be a professional spy in …show more content…

Still, Nobby does his very best, in spite or a barrage of setbacks, to help Sebastian track down the real shooter – a fully trained thug, named Lukashenko (Scott Adkins).

All right, I think it’s fair to say we don’t need to spend a whole lot of time discussing the acting in this film. I will say that, while Borat is still my favorite Sacha Coren character, he does do a commendable job as Nobby – and trust me, that even felt wrong to utter. But, Cohen is good at what he does – with his nonsensical, horribly offensive barrage of head-shaking scenarios.

For the vast majority of the film, I’m looking at Cohen’s appearance in the film and thinking – I wonder if he’s supposed to resemble Liam Gallagher (former Oasis frontman)… To make a long story short, if you also happened to be thinking the same exact thing – the credits are the payoff. That’s right, folks, amongst those being snubbed in The Brothers Grimsby is none other than England’s favorite meltdown machine, Liam

The Great Santini explores many themes in human life, and it especially explores the life of Ben Meecham, the son of the one and only Bull Meecham. Bull Meecham is the alpha of the household, and he considers himself to be the best pilot fighter and "the meanest, toughest, screamingest squadron commander in the Marine Corps." (Conroy 144). Thus, all the other characters are of a lower quality, just as Bull Meecham considers everyone else. While Bull Meecham may love his children, he doesn't necessarily show it often, wanting to uphold his strong and military sense of mind.

It includes Paul Rud as Chuck the goofy, contradicting, good for nothing, surf instructor, and Jonah Hill as Mathew the waiter who through out the film expresses his admiration for rock star Aldous Snow.

Rudd, Malco, and Rogen provide so many gut-busting laughs that the movie can float with them alone. Many of the film’s best moments come from the interactions of these three actors, who also are able to offer some of the most quotable lines of dialogue in the film. In addition to the supporting cast, there are also a great number of cameo appearances from other comedians and stars such as Jonah Hill, David Koechner, and Kevin Hart to name a few. The worst aspect of this film is the somewhat long running time.

They engage the audience by performing as though they were on Broadway. Miranda would take a step back and doing that would put more emphasis on those that are singing.

He starts off the letter with a sarcastic tone when he says, “I had no idea that the city of Casablanca belonged exclusively to Warner Brothers” (3-4). Clearly, the Warner Brothers do not own a city, considering all cities belong to the government of the country they reside in. Marx humorously states that it is his fault for not realizing that no one except the Warner Brothers could use Casablanca. Marx later references some stars in the disputed films when he states, “I am sure that the average movie fan could learn in time to distinguish between Ingrid Bergman and Harpo” (12-13). This statement is whimsical because Ingrid Bergman, who stars in Casablanca, is a woman and looks nothing like Harpo Marx, who is one of the male leads in A Night in Casablanca.
