Four Lions -- Film Review

"Four Lions" will roar with laughter on the select-site circuit. A "Spinal Tap"-style sendup of British jihadists, filmmaker Chris Morris has hilariously lampooned young men who confuse their ideology and religion with video games and set out to blast themselves into martyrdom.

Admittedly, jihadists are not what most people would think of as being funny, but Morris rips the ideological masks off and reveals human people beneath -- in this case, numbskulls.
