Four Lions (2010)
It is hard to describe this movie without using words that will land you on some FBI watchlist around the world. Maybe just mentioning the movie will do that - who knows. It was a very British watch, one in which I could never see the Americans making any sort of remake.
Four English guys, who lets say are very religious decide that they should go the distance and make themselves martyrs. Like any group of chaps who get together, they can seldom agree on anything and their bickering and indecison often supply many of the comedic moments in this movie. The audience lauged throughout, and it was one of the few movies I have seen lately that manages to mix comedy and drama together well, without turning into cliched boy humour, or sour dramedy when neither works .
The two sixty year old ladies next to me chuckled the whole way through, which was surprising and even in its saddest moments it still managed to hold together well.
4/5 - for this truly modern British tale.
