Cuban Fury

What to Know

Critics Consensus

Nick Frost and Chris O'Dowd remain as undeniably likable as ever, but Cuban Fury saddles them with a contrived and predictable plot that's far too short on laughs.

Amy Nicholson L.A. Weekly As progressive as it might feel for fat guys, losers and salsa stalwarts, it's rotten for women Rated: C- Apr 21, 2014 Full Review Wesley Morris Grantland It's not a bad gimmick, but the movie turns tediously sentimental fast. Apr 17, 2014 Full Review Steve Davis Austin Chronicle What Frost lacks in grace on the ballroom floor -- and he's not bad, mind you -- is more than compensated for by the joyful expression on his face when he's tripping the light fantastic Rated: 2.5/5 Apr 17, 2014 Full Review Leigh Paatsch Herald Sun (Australia) An efficient enough British crowd-pleaser, spicing up a sit-commy dish with a sublime side-serving of salsa dancing. Rated: 3/5 May 12, 2020 Full Review Nicholas Bell IONCINEMA.com It's got enough charm to overcome the sticky trappings of its generic formula. Rated: 2.5/5 Aug 30, 2019 Full Review Sophie WIng One Room With A View As shiny-but-ultimately-flimsy as a rhinestone-studded silk shirt, Cuban Fury is such great fun that you just won't care; it's genuinely laugh-out-loud from start to finish. Rated: 4/5 Jun 8, 2019 Full Review Read all reviews

Jonathan E Its worth it just for all the great music. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 08/13/25 Full Review Audience Member This movie is completely underrated Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/04/25 Full Review Audience Member We loved this movie! It was hilariously funny. I've not laughed this much at a movie for a long time. My teenage kids also enjoyed it which can be tricky to find a film we all like to watch. Best part was the still Fanta joke - so unexpected, random, and then the film just got even funnier from that moment on! Would recommend. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/04/23 Full Review Audience Member i just rewatched it after a few years and i mean, it's not the greatest coming-of-age movie, but it is sorta entertaining; the struggles between mother and daughter are very real that even i have gone through most of that stuff. it was nice seeing miley play a different role from the other ones she had done before. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/11/23 Full Review Audience Member Some films catch you in the right spot at the right time, even if they are not everyone's cup of tea. Cuban Fury is one of those movies I will watch any time it crosses my path. Light-hearted, feel-good fun with a strong lead performance by Nick Frost and an excellent supporting cast. Ranks right up there with Dodgeball and Strange Brew. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/03/23 Full Review Audience Member great performance by Nick Frost Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Read all reviews
