In the Loop

Director: Armando Iannucci

Run Time: 106 min

UK

Concept:

    The US President and UK Prime Minister fancy a war. But not everyone agrees that war is a good thing. The US General Miller doesn't think so and neither does the British Secretary of State for International Development, Simon Foster. But, after Simon accidentally backs military action on TV, he suddenly has a lot of friends in Washington, DC. If Simon can get in with the right DC people, if his entourage of one can sleep with the right intern, and if they can both stop the Prime Minister's chief spin-doctor Malcolm Tucker rigging the vote at the UN, they can halt the war. If they don't... well, they can always sack their Director of Communications Judy, who they never liked anyway and who's back home dealing with voters with blocked drains and a man who's angry about a collapsing wall.

Pros:

• If you wanna learn how to cuss someone out, this film will teach you how
• One of the funniest films, I have seen in the past year
• Shows that a well written film is just as entertaining as a action film

My Thoughts:
   
    This movie scares me, because I believe government really happens likes this. Yet as this movie scares me to death, it makes me laugh so much with its witty comments. For example, when the one character Macolm declares "You know, if I could, I'd punch you into paralysis!", I couldn't breath because I was laughing so hard. This movie is not for children or adults who don't like a lot of swearing, but for those who can stand swearing, and loves political movies, this film is a gem.
