Raetsonwe Redundant and unnecessary.

Ezmae Chang This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

Deanna There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.

Kinley This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows

lazyaceuk I heard Nick Frost promoting Cuban Fury on its release and heard the stories about how he had to gather together enough money over a lengthy period to get his project off the ground. When I listen to interviews like that you do tend to lean a bit towards the producers and in this case the star (he wears two hats) for the hard work in getting a non studio non blockbuster to the screen.But then you often realise why American television produces so much 'made for TV' film fodder, because in America this film would not have made it to cinema release. This merely highlights how low the true British film has fallen since the great days of British comedy, such as Ealing, and even to a degree, the Carry Ons.Cuban Fury is OK, no more. Nick Frost is OK, no more. There is a reason why actors form teams and that is because they play a foil for each other, and in Cuban Fury Nick Frost has to carry the film which neither he nor the script is capable of. Frost's foil, as such in this film is Chris O'Dowd, but in reality his is the love opposition in Frost's hopes of getting the hand of Rashida Jones. So O'Dowd is working against Frost for the entirety of the film and his over the top lothario is so poorly acted, developed and scripted that his time on screen is time that is more annoying that fun in what is meant to be a comedy.The story surrounds Frost's infatuation for Jones when she joins his Company as Head of Sales. His infatuation is further enhanced when he realises that she enjoys Salsa, a format that Frost was a champion in before he was bullied out of it in his teenage years. Love has no boundaries however, and Frost is determined to woe this women with his rusty skills and returns to his old mentor, played by Ian McShane, to see whether his now larger and less lithe physique still has the old magic.As is usual in this kinds of films the 'little man' must battle adversity to win his girl, and in some amusing pre-climax dance scenes that it was Frost does. The fight scene between him and O'Dowd is more akin to West Side Story than Rocky and is very amusing and well edited. But the premise only cast your mind back to another similar British film of recent years, namely Run Fat Boy Run, which did this 'boy tries to win girl' storyline so much better.The film has a great cast of British characters with McShane definitely becoming a new Oliver Reed for scene stealing. Also worthy are Olivia Colman as Frost's former dance partner sister and Kayvan Novak who steals most of the scenes he appears in.This film is OK, but could have been so much better.

balbindersmith This is decent comedy about a subject I don't care too much about, dancing. The acting is over all pretty good and I really love Rashida Jones!The guys in this aren't as good... by that I mean the main guys not Ian McShane who I think is pretty much amazing in everything I have ever seen him in. He always brings such a big intensity and realness to his characters, no matter how over the top or crazy (or ridiculous in this case) those characters may be. He and Jones make this movie worth watching!Check it out, it is nothing amazing but definitely a decent way to waste an hour and a half!

jc-osms A pleasant inoffensive comedy with Nick Frost for once divorced from Simon Pegg and wooing "Parks and Recreation's" Rashida Lloyd against the nefarious designs of his crude office manager Chris O'Dowd. Turning on the coincidence that Lloyd is an avid salsa dance fan and student while Frost gave up an early flair for the same dance under peer pressure from his fellow school-mates, they unsurprisingly get together and take the film to a predictable "dance-off" conclusion.The film aims for the same good-time vibe of popular hits like "Dirty Dancing" and "Strictly Ballroom", mixed with the earthier feel of earlier Frost vehicles like "Hot Fuzz" and "Shawn of the Dead" and if it doesn't quite pull it off, it gets by with some amusing situations, funny lines and likable characters.I probably liked more the supporting parts of the effete Latino male dancer, Frost's supportive sister, played by an underused Olivia Colman, a permatanned Ian McShane as Frost's old tyrannical dance-teacher and Frost's two saddo mates who get together once a week purely to review how ordinary their intervening days have been. As is the norm in contemporary comedies, the humour is a bit off-colour, with some of O'Dowd's conceited caveman comments being a little over the mark, but it reins itself in for the sequin-spectacular finale and feel-good conclusion.Frost is fine, if a little unbelievable, as his born-to-dance character, Lloyd is inoffensive in a fairly shallow role while O'Dowd garners a fair share of the laughs with his character's crude, boorish behaviour.Nicely shot and edited, particularly in the fast and furious dance where you'll believe a fat man can fly, "Cuban Fury" is affable, lightweight entertainment worth partnering for 90 minutes.

Gordon-11 This film tells the story of a young boy who gives up his bright salsa dancing career because he got bullied. He decides to pick it back up when he meets a nice woman who is into salsa.Make no mistake, this is actually a romantic comedy involving dancing. As a romantic comedy, it has its moments of fun, such as the scene where Bruce was caught at home with a man by his friend. Rashida Jones is funny and she's great as a love interest. But many of the funny scenes are really overdone, such as having a salsa duel in the middle of a car park. I mean, seriously? There's not much reference to Cuba either for it to be titled "Cuban Fury". Those expecting scenes in Cuba would be disappointed. Fortunately, the finale is great and saves the film partially.
