After battling zombie hordes, sinister townsfolk and otherworldly aliens alongside pal Simon Pegg, fellow funnyman Nick Frost faces his most terrifying task yet – salsa dancing! The British actor and comedian leads director James Griffiths’ comedy CUBAN FURY as an under-confident and overweight individual with the passion for hot-stepping tangos and hip-swaying rumbas that now lays dormant. However, one beautiful young woman (played by Rashida Jones) is about to reignite his Latin fire!
Check out the UK poster for film co-starring Chris O’Dowd, Olivia Colman, Ian McShane, Alexandra Roach, Rory Kinnear, Steve Oram, Kevin Eldon and Kayvan Novak.
1987: Poised to sweep the floor at the UK Junior Salsa Championships, 13-year-old Bruce Garrett has fire in his heels and the world at his feet… Until a freakish bullying incident robs him of his confidence and his life is diverted down a very different path. So it is that 22 years later, having locked away his boyhood dreams, Bruce finds himself out-of-shape, unloved and well and truly wedged in his “comfort zone”. It takes Julia (Jones), his smart, funny, gorgeous new American boss, to shake him from his emotional stupor and force him to re-examine his dull, passionless existence. But she’s out of his league, and with expert lothario and alpha-male office nemesis Drew (O’Dowd) overtly in pursuit of her, it’s enough to make Bruce want to give up on himself all over again. Can his loyal sister (Colman), childhood dance instructor (McShane), and crazy new amateur salsa pal (Novak) help Bruce unshackle his dancing beast, regain his long lost fury and claim the love of his life?
