Freaktana A Major Disappointment

Rio Hayward All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

Reno Rangan I had no idea about this film. Just saw its poster and it reminded me 'This Means War'. Sort of like that, but it's not about the spies, instead it was about salsa. An average guy who gave up salsa during his childhood, once again sparked to take it up seriously after finding crush on his new boss who loves salsa. But he's not alone, his colleague who's a bully is on to her and thwarts all his attempts not to get near to her. Now he has to prove, not just to win the love, but his last passion for salsa.Totally a surprising film. It was not utterly a romance theme, but a music, about salsa. The romance was a small part of it. It was somewhat fun, but I find it a bit dramatic about redefining the passion that was given up a log back. And if you love salsa, you might enjoy it. But it was not like those dance flicks from Hollywood. All the important segments of the story come in the second half. Especially the final act was much better, to end on a high. A film to watch once, just for fun.6.5/10

RevRonster I really don't know much about salsa dancing. The only dance move I can do is The Robot and I can barely do that. However, I do like to occasionally EAT salsa and I really like Nick Frost and Chris O'Dowd. So, I guess what I'm saying is that my lack of knowledge about the type of dancing really means jack because it's just a comedy meant for the entertaining and not for the educating.For the most part, I enjoyed "Cuban Fury." Granted, I didn't think it was über-excellent and I didn't find my gut was on the verge of bursting or that my laugh gland (totally a real organ) was about to burn itself out from the comedy but there was a charm to it and it was slightly amusing. The only real problem I had with the film was that even though it contained a cast of comedic players I particularly enjoy (and were the entire reason I decided to watch the film), I just couldn't get into them and the characters they were playing because they felt completely ill-fitted for their roles.I think both Chris O'Dowd and Nick Frost are hilarious but I just didn't see either of them really fitting into their roles. O'Dowd didn't look completely convincing as the antagonistic jerk that constantly mocks and belittles Frost's character and Frost look very out of place as the lead man in this romcom. Many of his interactions with the love interest played by Rashida Jones came off looking awkward—and I don't mean the character was awkward around the woman that made him feel funny in his loins but Frost looked lost trying to get the character zeroed in right for these sequences. It was a little bit distracting for me and it really made for a hard time for me to try and get into the love angle of the film's story. However, neither man was outlandishly terrible in their portrayal so it didn't kill the entire movie for me."Cuban Fury" was pretty average but didn't feel like an entire waste of time. It has its moments and it has its problems but it made me slightly chuckle here and there and proved to be an alright film.Hey there, fellow traveler! Feel like reading more of my rants, ramblings, geek references, bad jokes and other movie reviews (like a more in-depth review of "Cuban Fury" and other films that should have a little bit of salsa thrown in)? If you do, you can skip on over to my blog; revronmovies.blogspot.com. If you don't, that's okay, too. You're still a super star in my book!

Gordon-11 This film tells the story of a young boy who gives up his bright salsa dancing career because he got bullied. He decides to pick it back up when he meets a nice woman who is into salsa.Make no mistake, this is actually a romantic comedy involving dancing. As a romantic comedy, it has its moments of fun, such as the scene where Bruce was caught at home with a man by his friend. Rashida Jones is funny and she's great as a love interest. But many of the funny scenes are really overdone, such as having a salsa duel in the middle of a car park. I mean, seriously? There's not much reference to Cuba either for it to be titled "Cuban Fury". Those expecting scenes in Cuba would be disappointed. Fortunately, the finale is great and saves the film partially.

leonblackwood Review: I quite enjoyed this heartwarming tale about a salsa dancer who stops dancing because he gets bullies when he was young. He then falls for a new employee at his workplace who also enjoys Salsa dancing so he picks up the art again to try and get close to his love. Some of the scenes were funny, especially with Chris O'Dowd & Kayvan Novak who plays the gay dancer, and I loved the music throughout the movie. It's enjoyable if you don't take it seriously, but some of the scenes are a bit ridiculous, like the standoff in the car park. I was impressed with Nick Frost dancing, especially because of his size, and Nicks sister, Olivia Coleman, was also pretty impressive. Anyway, it's full of fun for the whole family and I'm sure that you will be tapping for feet throughout the film.Round-Up: It's a shame that the movie didn't make that much money because the whole cast put in 100% and they all looked like professional dancers. We are all familiar with a Nick Frost's type of humour from the Shaun of the a Dead franchise and Paul so you kind of know what type of comedy to expect. Personally, it's not a movie that I would watch over and over again, but it's a simple storyline which has some great dance moves.Budget: N/A Worldwide Gross: $100,000 (Terrible!)I recommend this movie to people who are into there movies about a salsa dancer who tries to charm the love of his life through dance. 5/10
