The story is about a group of British Muslim extremists plan the perfect terrorist attack... but may not be able to survive their own bumbling ways and conflicting personalities. This movie is not dumb or silly it is smart and Sharpe.

This movie was great. Very funny and creative. Its different to watch a comedy about terrorists. It really had me into it, because it truly is sick to have the main character be extremists.

A bald guy punches himself, a pair of guys dancing and acting out violence, Alice the girl talks like she’s high, water gun fight, instructing a bird and many more sequences that were not even remotely close to being funny. The beginning of the film never catches your attention and the premise of bombing a mosque and editing a video threat was plain idiotic. Pacing of the film was sluggish and soundtrack uninteresting. It had certain realism when it comes to its purpose except for the preposterous screenplay and dumb dialogue. Not everything is bad since it had a few logical moments relating to violence, friendship, and family if one listens intently. Four Lions is not for everybody, including this critic.

Can you make a comedy (even a dark comedy) about terrorism? Four Lions tries, and, while the farcical element it presents, I'm not sold on the end result. Still, it gets credit for trying. Just because it didn't work out for me doesn't mean it won't for you.

How anyone can make a comedy based on terrorism is beyond me. The whole film was not funny and the group of guys were utter douchebags. This movie was big when I was in France. I'm glad I did not pay to see this movie and rented it for free at the library in the USA. I'm sad that my time was wasted, still. Avoid at all costs. Terrorism is nothing funny to joke about.
