I’ve slowly begun to perk up at Chris Morris’s “Four Lions,” which has been playing the festival circuit all year and is heading for a November 5 release. I need to track down some screenings, but it’s worth noting that the film, a farce about British jihadists, was written in part by Jesse Armstrong, one of the co-nominees of last year’s “In the Loop.” And judging by the new poster, I’m guessing the film is funny. Check out the full image after the jump.

See, this is great. I have NO CLUE what the movie is about, but I still want to check it out. Fun poster!
Agreed, Ryan T. For some reason, I like this poster.
I have been hearing about this for a long time from my British friends. I can’t wait.
I saw the film last month. It’s in my top 10 of the year. Very very very funny.
It is indeed very funny — and pleasingly dangerous. Intrigued to hear how it goes down Stateside.
Very funny film. The cast was great.
Funniest movie I’ve seen this year.
Hilarious, yet tender and blisteringly relevant.
Top 10 of the year, easy.
Hailing from murky ol’ London here and I have to say Four Lions is one of the funniest films of the year along with Exit Throught The Gift Shop and ranks high amongst the top ten. F**kin’ great film, on par with In The Loop and In Bruges.
Also this is my first time commenting on this site so I’ll just like to say good job!!
remember, remember….
It is funny but it doesn’t know what toe it wants to keep. Trying to make the audience sympathize with suicide bombers was a misstep.
“Four Lions” is indeed “funny”. More than that, actually, it’s hysterical.
Not that funny. Great idea if subtly told but some of the jokes fall flat. Great sense of comedic timing by Kayvan Novak ( Waj ) and a few funny sequences ( the wookie, I won’t say more ) don’t make an overall funny film. The great problem of the film is its pace, too slow, not crazy enough. Could have been better but disappointing.
It is indeed funny, and more than that, consistently hilarious with poignant notes of sadness and farce, which, given the subject matter, is impressive.
