Cuban Fury - 14/02/2014
Complete and utter harmless fun.
Clare and I went watching Cuban Fury as a little nod to Valentines Day, a date night. I was not expecting a ground breaking film, a cinematic masterpiece. Cuban Fury is a completely harmless and enjoyable film.
The plot is predictable, as is with all rom-com's, but it is the characters that make it. Nick Frost is genuine and funny, Chris O'Dowd is self obsessed and egotistical and Rashida Jones is a Plain Jane, love interest for the two men. The stand out though is Kayvan Novak, every scene he is in the audience was brilliant.
Bruce Garrett (Nick Frost), a childhood salsa dancing star, has his hopes and dreams shattered by a group of bullies on the way to a dance competition. He swears never to salsa again. When a new boss starts at his work and has a passion for salsa dancing, Bruce decides to take up salsa once more to win her heart. It may have just been my male brain, but it seemed as though Julia (the new boss) actually had feelings towards Bruce before she knew about the salsa and he didn't really need to go through all the pain, but that wouldn't have made an interesting film. Guy meets Girl, Girl likes Guy, the end.
I have a couple of friends who are really into their dancing at the moment who I know would enjoy this film. I have recommended it and would be interested to know what they thought (may even put his comments on here)
Cuban Fury, as I mentioned, is an easy watch with a few giggles along the way, a nice little cameo that gets a chortle and Kayvan Novak stealing the show. "Rubber Dingy Rapids, Bro!"
An enjoyable date night film
