I'm yet to watch it but this is for example what I read there:

Perhaps this absurd stupidity-along with showing that the characters are rubbish Muslims, inspired not by faith, but by confusion and misappropriated cultural inertia-was a tactic to avoid retaliation from the Muslim community. If so, then perhaps it was necessary, but it came at the cost of the latter section of the film's intended poignancy for me.

Basically all the characters are remarkably stupid and in the case of Nigel Linsay unbearably annoying. Now stupid can be funny as is shown in the classic Dumb & Dumber (1994) but the stupidity shown in Four Lions is utterly unconvincing and again not funny.

I really want to watch it though but I'd go for Annie Hall first :D
