Cuban Fury
Nick Frost (Shaun of the Dead, The World's End) stars as Bruce, a chubby Londoner who was once hailed as a teen salsa dancing prodigy until a bullying incident cut his career short. 22 years later, the arrival of a new boss (Parks & Recreation's Rashida Jones) encourages Bruce back on to the dancefloor.
Out of shape and down on his luck, Bruce (Frost) bears little resemblance to his once-promising younger salsa-loving self, but he's inspired to rediscover his long lost talent to impress beautiful new American boss Julia (Jones). Meanwhile, office alpha male Drew (Chris O'Dowd, Bridesmaids) is also vying for Julia's attention and tries every dirty trick in the book to thwart Bruce's efforts. Supporting cast includes Ian McShane, Rory Kinnear, Kayvan Novak, Olivia Colman, Bridesmaids' Wendi McLendon-Covey and SNL's Rachel Dratch and Liz Cackowski.

Hot 'n Frosty
This film is funnier than it should be. Much funnier. Sooooooo much funnier. I can't express how bad this film should be, but then isn't. I mean, this should be the equivalent of a Adam Sandler/Kevin James film. Slowly sucking the life out of the audience while they sit there cutting themselves to feel anything, wondering how it ever got made and most...

pressFrost’s solo movie lacks the inventive madness of his Cornetto team-ups, but it’s still a heartfelt blast of fun.
