2010 Academy Award (R) nominee for best adapted screenplay, and on over 50 Top Ten critics lists, In the Loop is a smart comedy from the acclaimed team who created the award-winning BBC TV comedy series Alan Partridge and The Thick of It. The film is drawing instant comparisons to some of the great political and absurdist comedies such as Doctor Strangelove, Wag the Dog, and Monty Python. With razor-sharp, truly laugh-out-loud dialogue, the film pokes fun at the absurdity and ineptitude of our highest leaders. With everyone looking out for number one and the fate of the free world at stake (but apparently incidental), the hilarious ensemble cast of characters bumbles its way through Machiavellian political dealings across continents and toward comic resolutions that are unforeseeable. This must-see indie comedy from IFC Films stars James Gandolfini , Peter Capaldi and Steve Coogan.
The US President and the UK Prime Minister are planning on launching a war in the Middle East, but—behind the scenes—government officials and advisers are either promoting the war or are trying to prevent it.

Roller coaster ride of cursing, laughing and Brit wit!This film is not for anyone who can't appreciate the use of foul language to move a story along. That being said, the humour is definitely British and dry, but as we progress into the story, we have our eyes opened to the world of US military thinking and fact finding. You can't take this film too seriously, but it is so written so well and at an excellent pace that when it's over, you want to watch it again immediately to see what dialogue you missed while your were laughing. All of the cast is fantastic, even the smaller roles are well performed and seem to work well off of each other. The dialogue is so wildly sarcastic and bombastic that it's hard to be taken too seriously and yet, when you think about it you might even believe that this does in fact go on today. It's not the most flattering portrayal of the British or the American Government circles, but it is great fun. Sit back, have some beers and laugh out loud! It's good therapy!.Score: 5/5
Trying too hard Veep copyThe filmmakers think that the more swear words from men in suits are deployed in short intervals the funnier. Not so! The film cruises all over the shop and you can see, down to the same characters, how the author has borrowed heavily from the much more coherent and authentic Veep series. Also, we know, ever since Ben Elton used similes and colorful language in the now classic Blackadder Series to great effect, that such use should be applied sparingly in the right places. This script has no filter and so the overuse of all the swearing and contrived witticisms are leaving the viewer exhausted after less than 20 minutes. And despite great actors this film is a good example where the end result is actually smaller than the sum of all the individual parts. Watch other films where each of the actors actually shine because the script, the story and pace allow them to do so. This film is like eating 50 Cadbury cream eggs in an hour. And unlike Cool Hand Luke the viewer actually does throw up in the end. All a bit too much..Score: 1/5

A new comedy classic!! Peter Capaldi was snubbed out of his Oscar nomination big time.."In The Loop" was bar none, the funniest movie of 2009, as well as shocking perceptive of under-the-table political hand-wringing in Western countries. The entire cast of British and American actors is first rate, but Peter Capaldi walks away with the film as the bullying and hilariously blunt communications honcho Malcolm Tucker. Capaldi accomplishes the impossible in taking a character that should be hated (and is, at first) and somehow makes him sympathetic and even a little relatable towards the end of the film. He also has the single most unforgettably hilarious verbal abuse spewed by anyone since Sgt. Hartman from "Full Metal Jacket." The screenplay is absolutely brilliant, allowing every member of the cast, right down to the extras, to shine bright with wit and verve thanks to the peerlessly funny dialogue that never lets up. Don't wait another minute...BUY THIS COMEDY MASTERPIECE!!.Score: 5/5
Save your time and moneyWHen the critics agree it is either a great sign or the worst. This is a worst case scenario where a movie is given the thumbs up simply because it reinforces their political views. It is not funny, it is not thought provoking, and it fails to hold your attention except when you dose off and one voice causes you to dream you are watching the Sopranos. Save your money and watch...I don't know, anything that the paid critics hate..Score: 1/5
