I saw the film theatrically, and while the film is hilarious in parts, I actually found myself concluding that it was a whole lot sadder than it was funny. Its a great dissection of the way in which radicalism appeals to disillusioned or confused young muslims, and is pretty heart wrenching in parts.

Its definitely a film worth seeing, in fact I'd say it was a film the NEEDED seeing, but I don't think I'll be returning to it anytime soon. Thats not to say it isn't great, its one of the best I've seen this year, but its not the laugh riot that one might expect.
