Waj: We'll blow something up.
Omar: What we gonna blow up Waj?
Waj: Internet.

which reminds me the illustration below:

plot:
4 nincumpoops vor sa devina teroristi jihadici, including wannabe arabul Barry (Nigel Lindsay )! complications and martyrs ensure ! Film ultra-politic si umor very negru, und sehr actual, prima comedie cu jihadisti, asa cum Essential Killing (despre care n-am apucat sa scriu de cind l-am vazut) al lui Jerzy Skolimovski a fost primul action movie cu un taliban (the existential Rambo), asta e The Three Stooges (plus one) al suicide bomber-ilor !

-many muviis come to mind, from One- Two Three :) to Two Lovers, Three Kings to Four Lions to Five Corners :) and Six Six Six (incl. Nicki Sixx)...but seriously:
Don't Mess With the Zohan si Monty Python ! Team America: World Police meets In the Loop (vazut la B-Est-ul trecut, dar care era prea mult satira politica decit comedie mainstream-asta nuc a Four Lions ar fi easy going...), si un riff inedit la The Lion King !

-Jeff Beck si Aphex Twin in soundtrack, si piesa "Dancing in the Moonlight" de Sherman Kelly/aici cu Toploader !
-premiul BAFTA pentru cel mai bun debut (Christopher Morris)
premiul revistei Empire pentru cea mai buna comedie a anului 2010 !
vazut la B-Est ! simbata 16 aprilie la 18.30 la cinema Studio (in competitie)...si dupa mincat la arabi (falafel, sugiuk, humus, tabule, baba ganush, etc..no kebap-(unul din showdown-uri se intimpa la resto-ul Kebabish)
7 din 10 ! 3 1/2 din 5 ! (din pacate pierde ritmul in momente cheie dar finalul salveaza shish-kebapul jihadic final :)
dupa cum scrie San Francisco Chronicle:

Probably the world's first jihad terrorist comedy, Four Lions is a daring, brilliantly conceptualized film, but like the bumbling bombers of the title, the execution tends to be hit-and-miss.

potential de revizionare: you bet !!!!
