Quote of the day

"The switching back and forth from jihadi thriller to farce suggests Four Lions doesn't really know what it wants to be. What emerges most completely though is a buddy movie about confused men who would struggle to organise a barbecue in their own back garden."

The Guardian's Jeremy Kay on Chris Morris's new film about British Asian terrorists, recently screened in London before moving on to the Sundance Film Festival.

Nick Fraser was equally ambivalent in the Observer, but the clip has whetted my appetite for a characteristically Morris insight into a topic that comedy usually only treats superficially if at all.
