When you hear it's a comedy about suicide bombers, it does sound a tad odd, to say the least. However, when you factor in who it's made by, it all makes sense. Having watched programs such as Brass Eye & The Day Today, I suppose I knew what sort of humor to expect. If you have seen these programs & enjoyed them, see the film! & I suppose vice-versa.
I think the best part about the film was the balance between portraying the men as human, & 'real' people planning to do these horrific things, but at the same time making people laugh.
The only problem I now think, looking back on it, is that the supporting characters sometimes verge on being so 'comical', they can almost seem more like caricatures. Also, a review I read in a paper today pointed out that it would have been good to find out some back story - especially with the main character Omar (Riz Ahmed), as he had a wife & a child, but not a lot was mentioned about them, which seemed like a bit of a shame.
Oh, & on a slightly side-tracked note, the character Waj (Kayvan_Novak) (AKA Fonejacker) has had a haircut & looks pretty cute!

If you've seen the film, let me know what you thought - 'cause I would definitely say it's worth seeing!
