The Brothers Grimsby Arrives on Netflix This November
Netflix adds a new comedy to its lineup on November 1. The film is The Brothers Grimsby, a 2016 action comedy starring Sacha Baron Cohen and Mark Strong. Fans of bold humor can now stream it at no extra cost.
The story follows Sebastian Graves, an elite MI6 operative played by Mark Strong. His world is turned upside down when he meets his long‑lost brother, Nobby Butcher, played by Sacha Baron Cohen. Nobby is a foul‑mouthed, working‑class man from Grimsby. The two brothers must stop a bio‑terrorist plot that threatens millions.
Key Cast Members
Alongside the leads, the film features Isla Fisher, Rebel Wilson, Penélope Cruz, and Gabourey Sidibe. Each actor adds a distinct flavor to the chaotic adventure. Their performances help balance the film’s wild humor with moments of genuine tension.
Although the movie earned modest box office numbers, it has grown a loyal fan base over the years. Streaming platforms see value in movies that generate buzz on social media. The Brothers Grimsby fits that profile, offering a mix of slapstick jokes and spy thriller elements.
Critical Reception and Ratings
Critics gave the film mixed reviews when it first opened. On Rotten Tomatoes, it holds a 37% rating based on 136 reviews. Some reviewers praised the daring humor and the chemistry between Cohen and Strong. Others felt the plot was uneven. Regardless, the movie remains a conversation starter among comedy fans.
Box Office Snapshot
At the box office, the film earned about $6.9 million in the United States and $21 million internationally. The total worldwide gross reached roughly $28 million, slightly below its $35 million production budget. Over time, streaming numbers have helped the film find a new audience.
Viewers can expect rapid jokes, over‑the‑top action scenes, and a satirical take on spy movies. The film’s style mirrors the irreverent tone of Kingsman: The Secret Service, but pushes the boundaries even further. If you enjoy bold comedy that does not shy away from crude humor, this title is a good match.
