Four Lions (2010)
8/10
OMG! Too freakin' FUNNY!
25 February 2023
I haven't even finished watching this yet and I'm tossing out eight. Yeah, it's that freaking funny! And I'm not a huge fan of comedies, so it must really be HILARIOUS!

This is a story about four jihad-wannabes traveling to Pakistan where they intend to participate in a terrorist training camp. Ultimately, they plan to do great things - meaning they want to blow something up.

Along the way, of course, they encounter a few stumbling blocks. Not the least of which is their own flawed upgringing, character and general understanding of the real world.

This is a guy flick about men being boys. 'Cause that's what we all forever want to be. One way or another.

So, watch and enjoy. And think about the sheep, people! The sheep!

PS - Writing after the end, this film is actually quite sad. Perhaps a bit too real in its brilliant and unexpected climax(es). Perhaps our society will be better than this someday.
