When he was a child, Bruce Garret had a burning passion for one thing. Salsa dancing! He was on his way to becoming a great competitive dancer when a few bullies beat the passion out of him. Now, as an adult, Bruce is overweight and lacks the confidence he once had. But his heart hasn't changed. Now, one woman is about to reignite his Latin fire!
"Cuban Fury" is your typical "don't judge a book by it's cover" story. But it is backed with the greatness of Nick Frost and Chris O'Dowd and seasoned with the greatest dance fighting since "West Side Story". The fight is both hilarious and impressive.
The themes of being who you are regardless of what others think and not judging people are heavy in this movie and mean well, but with countless, seemingly never-ending fat jokes, you just want the guy to stick up for himself. And he never really does. Things just kind of happen for him while he's being walked on.
There is nothing terrifically special about this movie. But it is enjoyable. This is nothing more than a movie that you watch when you want something light and there is nothing else on. The most noteworthy part of this film is the spectacular choreography in the dance sequences. Really other than that, there is nothing else to say about this movie.
My Rating: 5.8/10
