Storyline

Omar and Pete are half brothers. When their parents are eaten by lions they embark on a journey to find Omar's real father. What follows is a funny, heart-warming journey of self-discovery for both boys...in Blackpool. The Choudray family represents a truly contemporary example of modern multicultural Britain - but what will the brothers make of their eccentric newfound family? Will they be going to Mecca or Mecca bingo? In contrast to the old fashioned stereotypes about Blackpool, the comedy is sharp, current and non-stop.

Making splendid use of its seaside setting and cannily exploring issues of xenophobia, integration, disability and family, this isn't particularly original. But its heart is definitely in the right place.

A thoroughly likable feelgood film.

While it would have been nice to see the arcs of some of the other characters in the Malik family explored a bit more, "Eaten by Lions" works fairly well providing several funny situations and genuine laugh-out-loud moments.

A film that’s equal parts alluring and sentimental, and consistently hilarious.
