As progressive as it might feel for fat guys, losers and salsa stalwarts, it's rotten for women

| Original Score: C- | Apr 21, 2014

It's not a bad gimmick, but the movie turns tediously sentimental fast.

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

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Apr 17, 2014

Too steeped in tropes and genre conventions without daring to color outside the lines.

| Original Score: C | Apr 11, 2014

Ultimately, the film rides on Frost, who carries it with charm, grace and plenty of heart.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Apr 11, 2014

I don't know about you, but anything done with an English accent usually seems all the more tolerable for it.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Apr 11, 2014

A little more fury might have been a whole lot better.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Apr 10, 2014

There's nothing groundbreaking in "Cuban Fury," but it's a pleasant diversion starring the always amiable Nick Frost, with Chris O'Dowd relishing his role as a slimeball.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Apr 10, 2014

Not that some of this isn't amusing, but you feel the considerable improvisational skills of the cast going to waste.

| Apr 10, 2014

Jon Brown's script, while good-natured, is overly predictable. But despite the challenges, Frost proves himself an unexpectedly nimble lead.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Apr 10, 2014

[It] has its laugh-out-loud moments. Most, unfortunately, come fairly late in the picture.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Apr 10, 2014

Don't let the cheesy title deter you. "Cuban Fury" is a thoroughly engaging crowd-pleaser - sweet, quite amusing and even a tad inspiring.

| Apr 10, 2014

A rather unremarkable, if endearing, entry in the quirky rom-com genre.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Apr 10, 2014

Frost is credited with the "original idea," a fanciful phrase given the highly formulaic story, but he and Jones are charming together.

| Apr 10, 2014

Frost has all it takes to run his own show. Now he just needs a better show.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Apr 10, 2014

Cuban Fury has a surprising amount of fun with these acknowledged clichés. At times, the movie has the energy of an Anchorman-style spoof ...

| Apr 10, 2014

Cuban Fury feels like the product of a computer program that was fed a dozen screenwriting manuals and synthesized the ultimate generic rom-com.

| Original Score: C | Apr 10, 2014

Though Frost does prove a charming and surprisingly fleet-footed leading man, this lovable loser tale makes some unfortunate missteps.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Apr 8, 2014

The film is thin on concept and limited in style, but the filmmakers have the good sense to let their characters remain playful and goofy throughout.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Apr 7, 2014

Overall, it's just enough to send the date-movie crowd home with a smile on their face and a tingle of joy in their heart.
