I was confused by this when I was watching it. I'm still confused by it now. I just really don't know what to make of it. I know some people found it really funny, but I guess it's just not my brand of humour. I did find some lines to be laugh-out-loud funny, but not, I suspect, as many as I was supposed to.
Four Lions is all about British Muslims who decide to make a point by devising a terrorist plot. Problem is, they're a bit useless and not very effective. However, everybody else in the movie is also entirely useless, so it's not limited to just these four characters.
I just really, really don't know what I think of this movie. I'm not bothered about watching it again, and I'm not sure I could recommend it. But it was very, very different to anything I've seen before.
Rating: 2.5 out of 5
