A former salsa prodigy attempts a comeback years after his career was ruined.
While Cuban Fury is a jolly enough film, you never really feel enough’s at stake here.
A great big bear-hug of a Britcom, with rhinestones on its shirt, salsa in its heart and dick jokes up its sleeve. Something for everyone, then.
Frost and the cast have obviously trained hard to avoid being murder on the dance floor, but the inept script is like Strictly Come Dancing in concrete boots.
Saturday Night Fever by way of Strictly Come Dancing, Frost’s solo movie lacks the inventive madness of his Cornetto team-ups, but it’s still a heartfelt blast of fun.
An amiable comedy.
This comedy never quite relaxes or relaxes or convinces or comes together, despite a blue-chip pedigree and a great cast.
Leaves a nasty taste. Would it be funny without the dubious body politics?
It’s a two from me.
The plotting itself is clumsy and predictable, and the sub-Office-style jokes are often flat-footed. Frost himself, though, is an engaging screen presence.
All the film really has to offer is the sight of a brilliant cast pulling uninspired Brit-com moves.
The extremely likable Nick Frost is the driving force behind this rather lumpen British romcom.
