Cuban Fury Reviews
An efficient enough British crowd-pleaser, spicing up a sit-commy dish with a sublime side-serving of salsa dancing.
| Original Score: 3/5 | May 12, 2020
It's got enough charm to overcome the sticky trappings of its generic formula.
| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Aug 30, 2019
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.
| Original Score: 4/5 | Jun 8, 2019
Save yourself from ending up furioso and skip it.

Despite the romantic element's failure to launch, Cuban Fury is solid entertainment, will put smiles on faces, and announces Frost as a viable leading man.
| Original Score: 7/10 | Apr 2, 2019
Though it's nothing we haven't seen in many a dance film before it, spirited performances help make Cuban Fury an amiable rom-com, and proves that Frost can carry a film on his lonesome.
| Original Score: 3/5 | Mar 7, 2019
Even seasoned comedians can't save this rom-com from falling flat.
| Mar 1, 2019
Funny and feel-good for the most part, but could have done with some polishing around the edges.
| Original Score: 7.5/10 | Nov 1, 2018
Overall, Cuban Fury isn't as funny or original as you want it to be, but the cast do an exceptionally job of giving this small, sweet film plenty of heart.
| Original Score: 3/5 | Sep 8, 2017
Cuban Fury mostly delivers the kind of funny, silly and delightful comedy as you'd expect from something "based on an original idea" by Nick Frost.
| Original Score: B- | Jun 6, 2016
Nick Frost delivers one of the great physical performances of the modern cinema era. Sexually, though, [Cuban Fury] is inexplicably playing for a decidedly 'adult humour' audience, thus eliminating ( ... ) family audiences.
| Original Score: 3/5 | Oct 10, 2014
Being about 70% romantic-comedy and 30% quirky underdog sports movie, to call the plot of Cuban Fury predictable would be an understatement.
| Original Score: 3/10 | Aug 15, 2014
If "Cuban Fury" launches Frost into bigger and better films, it's worth it.
| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Jul 30, 2014
"Luckily, (Nick Frost has) still got enough charm to make most of us overlook the more far-fetched and dumber story elements. And surprisingly, he's fleet of foot enough to be able to pull off some pretty tricky moves and sequences."
| Original Score: 3/5 | May 9, 2014
Doesn't have a personality of its own, in dire need of a more robust collection of laughs and a few less painfully contrived subplots.
| Original Score: C | Apr 24, 2014
As progressive as it might feel for fat guys, losers and salsa stalwarts, it's rotten for women
| Original Score: C- | Apr 21, 2014
No amount of fancy footwork can disguise the sketchy one-joke nature of this British comedy.
| Apr 18, 2014
It's not a bad gimmick, but the movie turns tediously sentimental fast.
| Apr 17, 2014
Rooting for Frost is easy, and that goes a long way toward sustaining Cuban Fury's palatability.
| Original Score: 7.1/10 | Apr 17, 2014
Overall, this movie is out-of-step.
