WARP- Four lions
Reception
Critical response
Four Lions received mostly positive reviews. Rotten Tomatoes gives the film a "Certified Fresh" score of 81% based on 110
reviews with an average rating of 7.2 out of 10. The site's general consensus is that its "premise suggests brazenly tasteless
humour, but Four Lions is actually a smart, pitch-black comedy that carries the unmistakable ring of truth.
The Daily Telegraph wrote. Chris Morris's evocations of the claustrophobic mundanity of the Muslims' lives, their quarrelous
banter, their flimsily pick 'n’ mix approach to the Koran all feel painfully, brilliantly real. The Daily Express rated Four Lions
4/5 and praised the performances in particular, calling the film "brilliantly cast with all the actors displaying sharp comic
timing and both Riz Ahmed and Kayvan Novak also bringing out the touching humanity of their characters.
Upon its screening at Sundance, The Los Angeles Times and The Hollywood Reporter gave the film extremely positive
reviews, the latter describing the film as "a brilliant takedown of the imbecility of fanaticism" drawing comparisons with
This Is Spinal Tap and The Three Stooges.
Amongst the reviewers that gave the film negative and mixed reviews were Nigel Andrews of The Financial Times, who
called the film a "spectacular miss” and The Guardian's Jeremy Kay, who wrote "as a satire on terror, Four Lions seems to be
a missed opportunity". Andrew Pulver, writing for The Guardian, gave the film a more favourable review, stating that "Chris
Morris is still the most incendiary figure working in the British entertainment industry.
The UK premiere at the National Media Museum in Bradford was followed by a question and answer session with Chris
Morris, Jesse Armstrong, Sam Bain, three of the principal actors and two of the producers. Morris stated that he does not
find the film at all controversial and that attempting to cause controversy is "one of the most boring things you can do".

Working Titles- Love Actually
Reception
While Love Actually received generally positive reviews in Britain, United States reviews were generally mixed.
The review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes reported that 63% of critics gave the film a positive rating,
based on 191 reviews, with an average score of 6.4/10. Its consensus states "'A sugary tale overstuffed with too
many stories. Still, the cast charms. On Metacritic, which uses a normalized rating system, the film holds a
55/100 rating, based on 41 reviews, indicating "mixed or average reviews". In 2013, the movie was analysed on
whether the movie was a modern day Christmas classic.
Todd McCarthy of Variety called it "a roundly entertaining romantic comedy," a "doggedly cheery confection,"
and "a package that feels as luxuriously appointed and expertly tooled as a Rolls-Royce" and predicted "its
cheeky wit, impossibly attractive cast, and sure-handed professionalism... along with its all-encompassing
romanticism should make this a highly popular early holiday attraction for adults on both sides of the pond".
Michael Atkinson of The Village Voice called it "love British style, handicapped slightly by corny circumstance
and populated by colourful neurotics".[19] Roger Ebert of the Chicago Sun-Times gave the film 3½ out of 4
stars, describing it as "a belly-flop into the sea of romantic comedy The movie's only flaw is also a virtue: It's
jammed with characters, stories, warmth and laughs, until at times Curtis seems to be working from a checklist
of obligatory movie love situations and doesn't want to leave anything out [...] It feels a little like a gourmet
meal that turns into a hot-dog eating contest."[20] Susan Wloszczyna of USA Today wrote "Curtis' multi-tiered
cake of comedy, slathered in eye-candy icing and set mostly in London at Christmas, serves sundry slices of
love—sad, sweet and silly—in all of their messy, often surprising, glory.

Working Titles- Hot Fuzz
Critical reception
The film met with critical acclaim, and was rated as highly as Shaun of the Dead. The review aggregator
website Rotten Tomatoes reported a 91% approval rating with an average rating of 7.7/10 based on 198
reviews. The website's consensus reads, "The brilliant minds behind Shaun of the Dead successfully take
a shot at the buddy cop genre with Hot Fuzz. The result is a bitingly satiric and hugely entertaining
parody. "It also has a Metacritic score of 81/100. Olly Richards of Empire said of Simon Pegg and Nick
Frost: "After almost a decade together they’re clearly so comfortable in each other’s presence that they
feel no need to fight for the punchline, making them terrific company for two hours". Johnny Vaughan
of The Sun already called it the "most arresting Brit-com of 2007". Phillip French of The Observer, who
did not care for Shaun of the Dead, warmed to the comedy team in this film. The film also received
positive reviews stateside. Derek Elley of Variety praised Broadbent and Dalton as "especially good as
Angel's hail-fellow-well-met superior and oily No. 1 suspect". As an homage to the genre, the film was
well received by screenwriter Shane Black. On Spill.com, it got their 2nd-highest rating of 'Full Price!!'.
The Daily Mirror gave Hot Fuzz only 2/5, stating that "many of the jokes miss their target" as the film
becomes more action-based. Daily Mail also shared The Mirror's view, saying, "It's the lack of any
serious intent that means too much of it is desperately unamusing, and unamusingly desperate".
Anthony Quinn of The Independent said, "The same impish spirit [as in Spaced] is uncorked here, but it
has been fatally indulged".

  • 12. Working Titles- Hot Fuzz Critical reception The film met with critical acclaim, and was rated as highly as Shaun of the Dead. The review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes reported a 91% approval rating with an average rating of 7.7/10 based on 198 reviews. The website's consensus reads, "The brilliant minds behind Shaun of the Dead successfully take a shot at the buddy cop genre with Hot Fuzz. The result is a bitingly satiric and hugely entertaining parody. "It also has a Metacritic score of 81/100. Olly Richards of Empire said of Simon Pegg and Nick Frost: "After almost a decade together they’re clearly so comfortable in each other’s presence that they feel no need to fight for the punchline, making them terrific company for two hours". Johnny Vaughan of The Sun already called it the "most arresting Brit-com of 2007". Phillip French of The Observer, who did not care for Shaun of the Dead, warmed to the comedy team in this film. The film also received positive reviews stateside. Derek Elley of Variety praised Broadbent and Dalton as "especially good as Angel's hail-fellow-well-met superior and oily No. 1 suspect". As an homage to the genre, the film was well received by screenwriter Shane Black. On Spill.com, it got their 2nd-highest rating of 'Full Price!!'. The Daily Mirror gave Hot Fuzz only 2/5, stating that "many of the jokes miss their target" as the film becomes more action-based. Daily Mail also shared The Mirror's view, saying, "It's the lack of any serious intent that means too much of it is desperately unamusing, and unamusingly desperate". Anthony Quinn of The Independent said, "The same impish spirit [as in Spaced] is uncorked here, but it has been fatally indulged".
